May God have mercy on all involved. May there be repentance and conversion for the kidnappers and release for Zuhair.

Lord have mercy!

May this be a Christmas miracle for all the world to see. May our Good Lord confound the foolishness of this world with the love and wisdom of His World...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

I am stunned. Will send your prayer request out.

There is so much pain in Iraq. May God have mercy on Zuhair and enlighten and touch the hearts of his countrymen to set him free.

Lord have mercy on all in that country and may He also stop the demonic madness that brings men to blow themselves up to kill their fellow countrymen !

In Christ,

Prayers for your cousin Zuhair, that the Lord God protect him from physical and emotional harm and may his kidnappers have mercy and restore him to his family very soon.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, through the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and all the saints, save Zuhair, convert his kidnappers, and glorify your name!

Amen.

Khalid, I will send your prayer request out and keep your family in my prayers.

Glory to Jesus Christ,

Thank you for all of your prayers, Zuhair was released today and he is at home in Iraq with his family; He wasn't hurt or anything. The kidnappers agreed for $50, 000 dollars.


Thank you
in Christ,
Khalid
