my bad Rene, elect.

Why pray at all. I mean whatever happens in Syria or any country Its Gods Will and it will be done no matter how hard and ernest we pray. God knows the end before the begining. God does not change His mind. So as i stated before it can not hurt for mankind to pray for the world, the people in it or peace. At the end of the day what does it matter, to pray or not to pray, this is the question i ask of thee.

Hi Darren, I think prayer is always beneficial for us, it is our conscience intent to communicate with God. If anything is of concern then we should reach out to God and speak of it, He will answer. He won't change His plans, but He can comfort our worries, and He can help us to understand better. It is an attitude of trusting in Him, to turn to God in prayer with everything, to call upon "Abba, Father."
Psa 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.Selah
Psa 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
That I may declare all Your works.
Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
Pro 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
Jer 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Php 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Isa 65:24 "It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
1Th 5:16 Rejoice always,
v. 17 pray without ceasing,
v. 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Just a few verses of encouragement :)
mercy, peace and love

--- Quote ---As an example, God raised up kings to execute judgement on His people, then executed judgement on the kings he raised up. Jesus is Lord. Even God's enemies are HIS. One day He will have put all His enemies under His feet, starting with the carnal mind of those He has been choosing "now".

Thanks for that, Dave. As you recently posted, we seem to have come some way in our threads.
I was researching the topic "wars" and came upon this old thread "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Killed in Iraq". I was blown away by the postings that argued political and religious viewpoints and came away feeling confused. A considerable amount of latitude was given in that discussion.
