Young Egyptian Boy’s Prayer For Iraq Goes Viral

John 14:13 NCV And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.

The sound of a small, fragile little boy’s voice is being passed around the world to remind people to pray for persecuted Christians in Iraq.

The boy, known only as Mario, lives in a suburb of Cairo, Egypt.  He is a regular watcher of an Arabic Christian television satellite network called SAT-7 KIDS.  He called into a show because he wanted to pray for the families in Iraq because he was hurting for them even though they were hundreds of miles away.

This is Mario’s prayer translated into English:

“We thank you for extending your glory to everything in our lives, Lord…

We pray for Iraq and all the Arab countries, they’re in your hand, Lord. Let there be peace and forgiveness, oh Lord, in terms of those who are doing bombings. Watch over the innocent people…

Even those killing others, you love them very much. You wait for them that they may come back to you again, oh Lord.

Lord Jesus, you said, ‘Come to me, you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ Yes, Lord. May we come back to you in everything, Lord Jesus.

Whether it be a small problem or a big problem, whether it be among nations or something material, or anything. If it be household problems, you will be glorified, Lord Jesus.

I thank you for hearing and answering us. Amen.”

The World Evangelical Alliance had called on Christians worldwide to focus on Christians and other minorities being persecuted by Islamic terrorists in Iraq.
