Turmoil in the Middle East

The nations of the ME are in turmoil.

Does that affect you?
Should you be praying?

The following is from Hong Kong's South China Morning Post:

Across the Middle East and North Africa, autocrats, dictators and monarchs are becoming more worried as the weeks pass. The long-standing rulers in Tunisia and Egypt have been forced from office by their people, while thousands have taken to the streets in Yemen, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan and Syria. Rulers watch, in a nightmare from which they cannot wake, as the dominoes tumble around them. And as the "revolution" spreads, Asia may not be immune.

Where are these countries headed? The fate of these countries, those around them {Israel} and possibly even our country, hangs in the balance.
Yes, we do need to be praying. Pray for Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan and Syria
Pray for God's will to be done in these countries as it is in Heaven.

Ps 46
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble
Therefore we will not fear
Even though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Be still and know that I am God
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

In love, admiration and thankfulness for your faithfulness to pray.
