Prayers for Moscow. This was on the news this morning in case you missed it.

Russian authorities: Terrorist bombing at Moscow airport kills 35


Russian authorities: Terrorist bombing at Moscow airport kills 35

The most consistent characteristic of a day, is that one always comes after the other. Aside from their successive occurrence, nothing can really be predicted about our days.  Situations arise that you never considered or expected would, as well as those that one would never want to consider or expect. As hard as we try, and as hard as government officials try, we will never attain the level of control we desire; we cannot foresee it, nor can we prevent it. Though we may not have a controlling hand in these difficult situations, we can have a responsive one. I'd like to ask for prayers for those injured, for the families who lost someone in the airport today, and for Russia overall. I also ask that we pray for government officials, the EMTs responding on the site, and for the terrorist groups behind the bombing. I hope that anyone reading this will help by lifting up this country and its people in prayer, and by humbly laying them at the feet of Jesus. Our response to the acts of religious groups around the world, set on taking the lives of themselves and others, needs to be Christ. We need to respond with prayer and love. In a broken world, God heals and He comforts - God loves and is Lord over all countries. 


[Phil 1:27,28]
