Will Turkey Take Over More Territory from Syria?

PRAY WITH US: Father God, we thank You for Your Son Jesus, the Desire of the nations. But many nations think they desire Allah and Muhammad instead. Even as far north as England, Muhammad has become the most popular name for baby boys. So expose the deceptive spirit behind islam. Give the minority of Christians in Syria a powerful testimony of You. Fill the power vacuum in Syria with Your choice of leaders who will allow true religious freedom there.

Frustrate the ambitions of Erdogan or Iran or any other to use Syria to start a caliphate. Turn the Muslims’ anger away from Israel and help them to see that Islam is devoid of the true God. Establish a government which will make way for the kind of peace that You want in Syria and the Middle East. Also, turn them away from any further attacks on Israel. For You make wars to cease to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
