Eye on the World: How we can pray in the wake of shootdown of Malaysian flight
While combatants in Ukraine trade accusations about who shot down Malaysian flight MH17, tensions continue to rise between Russia, Europe, and the United States. Many of the individuals on the flight were Europeans, and the difficulty of fully securing the site in the warzone has been frustrating. The lack of straight answers has only made things worse.
Prayer that insists on the presence and control of God, Truth, right in that zone can help alleviate the strains of grief and anger and also uncover what actually occurred. Here are some thoughts from people in difficult situations and how prayer helped them.
In “You are always safe,” the author tells about a time when the aircraft he was traveling in was apparently struck by lightning and also about seeing the impact on Lockerbie when Pan Am Flight 103 was brought down by terrorists. He writes about prayer for those left behind and also deals with how we need to be careful that vindictiveness and a desire for revenge don’t take hold of our hearts.
