Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen are no longer viable nation-states. A number of nations are supporting fighters who have ruthlessly taken many innocent lives. Refugees are streaming into Western nations, with all the resulting challenges and dangers. IS is spreading and instigating intolerable situations. On Wednesday 28 people died and 61 were wounded by a car bomb in Ankara. Egypt has ordered the closure of the country's last remaining centre for the treatment of torture victims amid a surge in allegations of torture by Egyptian officials. North Korea is sabre-rattling while the poor starve. So many nations need to be soaked in prayer, all of them holding a real sense of tension and danger if one party makes the wrong decision. Pray for the leaders of these nations to be led by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. May they make decisions that God can bless.
