Most of us are feeling pretty despondent about the Middle East these days and are wondering how deep the pit can get and if there is any good that can happen anymore. In these difficult times challenge yourself to commit to prayer.
Here is a quote from Walter Wink to encourage you: "Intercessory prayer is spiritual defiance of what is, in the name of what God has promised. Intercession visualizes an alternative future to the one apparently fated by the momentum of current forces. Prayer infuses the air of a time yet to be into the suffocating atmosphere of the present."
