Tomorrow is an important day...and I'm not referring to the Georgia v. South Carolina game. Syria's civil war has been in the news, but has elevated in the last few weeks with the allegations of chemical warfare. I've tried to educate myself on the situation, but frankly there are too many voices and opinions and it's hard to separate the truth. Regardless, the United States and other countries have been discussing their potential involvement. It appears many countries want someone to step in, but none are eager to enter a war. As countries rally and discuss options, Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting on Saturday, September 7th for peace in Syria.
As Rachel Held Evans said
When it's just to big...
All that's left is prayer and fasting.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.
All that's left are tears and ash.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.
All that's left is to acknowledge your smallness.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.
All that's left is to sit in quiet with the world and beg for peace, wisdom, and clear paths.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.
Please consider joining in prayer and fasting for peace in Syria and for wisdom and direction for our leaders.
