Our friends, brothers, and sisters,
it is hard to ask you not to dismay.
As you run to safety,
and flee from missiles,
it is hard to ask you to pray.
When you are losing your children to bombs,
it is hard to keep the faith.
Still, we must not turn from God,
as because He is still with us everyday.
I know that it is hard,
to understand,
the position where you are.
To be outnumbered, outmanned, and outweaponed,
makes it seem as though you will loose this war.
Still, remember Joshua, Gideon,
and the great leaders and warriors of that time.
Do not be discouraged.
God will bring you through this bind.
So to my brother, to my sister, and to my friend,
I pray and hope that you stick it out,
and God sees you through to the end.
