you are not alone

Tonight please pray for all the innocent lives that will be lost in Syria due to the airstrike decision which has been agreed upon.

This is a real thing that is happening. There’s an entire coalition of nations participating. World leaders really said yes to bombing a country because a group of people responsible for some of the worst terrorist actions in recent history are in that country. Are you aware of the fact that there are innocent civilians, innocent families, in that country who are being forced to stay and to obey the directives of this terrorist organization? There’s a grandmother comforting her grandson while the ground rocks and the electricity goes out, who can’t tell him that the reason they haven’t run away is that they at least have a chance of surviving randomly-distributed bombs while they don’t stand a chance against the guns those terrible people carry. “Innocent civilians” is more than just words. Those are real people who have no way out and who have been turned away when they sought one. There’s someone just like you; oldest or youngest sibling, a parent, monetary trouble, living a comfortable life working and pursuing their future, etc. There’s someone who is basically living your life, and who is terrified for themselves, their friends, their family. Think about THAT before you dismiss this, because this is horrific. And it should scare and sicken you.

Beautiful!!
