Prayer Points for a Nation in Conflict
"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16)
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress" (Psalm 46)
