Prayer starter

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:29-31

Lord, in your Word it says that the two most important things are that we love You, with all our heart, soul and mind and that we love our neighbor as ourselves. I pray that over Syria right now: that they would first come to know You, love you, with everything inside of them; and that they would reconcile with all their neighbors and show love to those surrounding them. I pray that you would send forth laborers to help bring this to pass.
