We took our Nazarites on a tour of the Supreme Court this week. It gives us a chance to pray in the building and get a sense of what is currently happening.
We learned that on Friday (today) that a very important case would be heard. You may have read about this in the news. The young prisoner of war, Omar Khadr, is having his repatriation status discussed at the highest level.
This gives us lots to pray about. We prayed onsite for him that despite the years of sitting in Guantanamo Bay, that the Lord would redeem the years of his life. For some, this is a case of pure and simple of a “child-soldier”. For others it is about terrorism. Both are issues that need our intercession.
Another key issue is the relationship between our top court and the current government of the day. Can the courts intervene in foreign policy and force an elected government to do what they deem constituitional? We need to pray for that concern.
All of this might become a moot point, because the American government has finally announced today that he will be tried along with some others in their court system. That will need our prayers too.
