Scripture: Psalm 140:1-2
"Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men; Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars."
Commentary:
In Syria, violence claims lives and highlights how extremist ideology continues to foster devastation across the region. Soldiers and civilians face these grave risks daily—a fact impossible to ignore. As people grapple with aftermath and loss, Scripture reveals that schemes of violence are not new, nor is the chaos that follows.
