As a decision to ease the tension in Syria, Russia and America have agreed that Syria will not be attacked if they relinquish their chemical weapons.
While Syria has indeed agreed to do this, the fighting seems far from over.

Just three days ago the tow of Azaz in northern Syria was attacked viciously while the Free Syrian Army(FSA), the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIS), and Al Qaeda occurred.
This fighting started in April, as  a protest to Al Qaeda's presence.

This fighting happened when the ISIS which includes some people from Al-Queda joined with a jihadist group called Al-Nusra.

The leader of Al-Nusra part of  the FSA, did not want to listen to the leader of Al-Qaeda.

But this is just the most recent in one of their squabbles, they have fought over oil fields, towns, and ISIS has killed many who do not agree with them. It seems like there is no end in sight.





But my God sees, one of my favorite verses in times like this is Psalm 94:9-10a
'He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not rebuke? '

God judges the wicked; the crimes of the government, the rebels, and all involved will be dealt with justly by my God.


Prayer Requests:

-That the rest of the towns they go through would be spared.
-That the dismantling of Syria's chemical weapons would be uneventful.
-That the war would end and Syria would be at peace.
-That the rebels and the government would both see that neither of them is gaining ground.
-That innocent lives would be spared.
-Most importantly, that the people of Syria would come to know the Lord.
