Israel and Iran are at war.
Leaders of the small Middle East democracy are worried about their continued existence, amid Iranian threats to wipe the country off the map, and are insistent the rogue Islamic regime cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, which could do just that.
President Donald Trump is being pushed both directions, from one side to get America involved and just end the continued threat from Iran. The other side says it’s not America’s fight and he must stay out.
Then there’s Russia and Ukraine still launching rockets, blowing up things and killing people in a war that’s gone on for years already.
Further, China is threatening Taiwan, and there’s war in Africa.
Franklin Graham, chief of the worldwide Christian ministry Samaritan’s Purse, has posted online a simple request.
“Will you join me in lifting up President Donald J. Trump in prayer?”
He explained, “From our earthly view, we see ominous storm clouds gathered around the globe. With Iran and Israel engaged in war, Russia and Ukraine in continued deadly conflict, China imposing an imminent threat to Taiwan, war in Sudan, and more, it seems as though the whole world is on the brink of fracturing.”
He said, “Our President needs wisdom and strength from God. The decisions he is called upon to make will affect each one of us, our country, and the entire world. I pray that God will direct his steps as he leads our nation through the most turbulent times we have experienced in decades.”
Graham then quoted Matthew 24:7, “The Bible tells us, ‘For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.’”
