Quote
"To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees." Billy Graham
In 2025, with global challenges rising and hope often flickering, the call to intercede for the nations is louder than ever. Prayer is not just a personal discipline, it’s a global responsibility for every believer.
Why Must We Pray for the Nations
Intercession opens the door for divine influence where human systems fail. When we pray, we align nations with God’s purposes and prepare the ground for transformation. Through intentional, united prayer, we can witness:
· Freedom of worship and protection of religious rights.
· Strengthened economies and fair opportunities for all its citizens
· An end to human trafficking, terrorism, and oppression.
· Righteous, stable governance and wise policy-making.
· Peace in place of violence and unity over division.
· The Gospel spreading freely and powerfully across nations of the earth.
PRAYING FOR THE NATION OF SYRIA
When most people think of Syria, they think of the devastation of war, leveled buildings, and masses of refugees. But Syria is home to historical cities that predate the broken buildings and refugees by millennia. In fact, its capital city, Damascus, is one of the oldest inhabited areas in the world. Syria’s location on the fertile Mediterranean coast has historically made agriculture and tourism a critical part of its struggling economy. But in 2011 this country descended into a seemingly unending civil war that has resulted in record numbers of displaced peoples and an ever-increasing death toll too high to even count.
