Heavenly Father, I pray you will hear this prayer for Syria and will pour this prayer upon the hearts of your children throughout the region of Syria.

Lord Jesus, you walked in Syria. You performed miracles in Syria. You, in the flesh, healed the sick in Syria. You cast out demons and cured seizures and paralysis with just the touch of your hand.

Lord, your fame spread throughout All of Syria. Crowds followed you as you began your ministry here on earth near and in Syria.

You, Oh Jesus, sat down on a mountain top with your disciples and with those who believed and desired to follow you. It was there you proclaimed, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God.”

Then, you declared these words, “You are the salt of the earth.” 

Oh, Lord, thank you for the first century Syrian’s who heard your voice, who spread your word, who told your story, who believed that You were and are Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 

Salt when it is applied adds a savor.

Therefore, he who is seasoned with Salt proceeds to season another. Person upon person. Soul upon soul. Generation upon generation. And when that salt ceases to season another person, soul or generation “It is from then on good for nothing.”

Lord, I pray your Salt will season each and every Syrian heart this very moment. Pour your strength upon your Children in Syria. Fill them with the Truth of Your Word. Strengthen their pastors, their churches, their families, their voices. Father, lead them to security, safety and to Your Sovereign Hands! 

Thank you, God, for this pondering of Salt, thank you for your gift of Salvation, and thank you for shining your Light upon your children in Syria.

God, build up this nation to what it once was as seen in Mt 4:24!! I pray all these things with permission of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Amen

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty?” -Mt 5:13
