Prayerful, Hopeful Grief


My heart is broken for the brave men who perished this week in Afghanistan.   I grieve for them.  I am thankful for their service and sacrifice.  I pray for their families to know the comfort and sustaining grace found only in Christ. 

My heart is also broken for the country in which they died.   I grieve for Afghanistan.  Millions in Afghanistan are lost without the knowledge God’s love and the sacrifice made by His Son Jesus.  I pray for them to know the salvation and the true peace that is found only in Christ.  No peace will be known in Afghanistan until the Prince of Peace reigns in the hearts of the Afghan peoples. 

Please join me in this prayerful, hopeful grief.
