“If you will diligently listen to the voice of theĀ LordĀ your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of theĀ diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am theĀ Lord,Ā your healer.” Exodus 15:26
Healer of the Brokenhearted, we come to You with reverence, lifting Maryam to You. As a 34-year-old mother from Damascus, Syria, we grieve with her over the loss of her children and ask that you comfort her from the attack on her body that has caused great suffering and forced her hand to be amputated. According to Your Word in Exodus 15:26, You are the Lord who heals. We ask that you hear her request to mend her broken heart and restore her body so that she can focus on her faith in You. Bring people around her to walk with her through this difficult time. Even in her loss, let her life shine with hope. Heal her, Lord, and use her story to bring comfort to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. |

Damascus, the capital of Syria, and Homs, a main center of the Syrian uprising and catalyst for the civil war, are two of the most populous cities in the country. The capital was crowned for its beauty and has been called the āpearl of the Eastā, however, both cities have suffered much loss and deterioration since the war began in 2011.
With Bashar al-Assad still in power, the only true hope for the healing and transformation of Syria is the Good News of Jesus. Thankfully, many Syrians report that the Messiah revealed himself to them in dreams and visions while fleeing the country.
With the country under Assadās oppressive control the conflict has diminished, and with increased stabilization an opportunity is presenting itself for Jesus following Syrians to return to their homes and share with their countrymen an unfading, imperishable Pearl of great price.
