The following post was originally written and published back in 2012 when an ongoing war was taking place in Syria. I have taken out the references to Syria and placed instead "a war torn nation."
Jesus speaking in prophecy:
“How many more will die before my people are moved with compassion to pray for the peace of that war torn nation? Each day of fighting means another day of death and destruction to the dear people of that nation. Why do not My people cry out to Me to stop these atrocities of war? War is man at his worst. Why do My people sit idly by and are not moved to pray?
"Prayer moves My hand, but if My people do not pray, do call upon Me, My hands are tied. But if you will call upon Me, I will answer. Call. Raise up your voices like the sound of a trumpet or like the roaring ocean. Let the world itself hear your cries. Your cries will affect change in that country's favour. The fact that you are praying will affect other people and will cause a chain reaction of prayer.
"Will you pray for peace in that war torn country? Will you pray for its leaders, that I will help them to put the future of their country above their own personal safety and ambitions? Pray that I will help them to make the right decisions that will lead to a just and lasting peace for all the people of that nation, and not just for one political or religious or social group.
"Will you pray against the war mongers who provoke war for their own personal or political agenda and care not for the people of that war torn nation, nor their aspirations? Please pray against those whose agenda is war and the promoting of war. Pray for peace in all the war torn nations.
"Will you pray against the war mongers who provoke war for their own personal or political agenda and care not for the people of that war torn nation, nor their aspirations? Please pray against those whose agenda is war and the promoting of war. Pray for peace in all the war torn nations.
"Be moved with compassion and get together with a friend or family member and pray for the peace of that nation. If thousands or millions of My people of the world begin to pray, I will hear. Maybe even your governments will hear. Maybe the war will be stopped?
"I will use your prayers. I will translate those prayers into action in the lives of those involved in the war. Your prayers will not go unanswered. Although I am limited by the decisions of men, your prayers will not be in vain. Pray. Pray with all your heart and mind and body and soul, as if one of your own were there in the midst of the fighting and your only means to help them was through the power of your prayers."

Dennis Edwards:
Brother Andrew´s Open Doors Ministry found that nation to be one of the most exciting witnessing places in the Arab world before the war started. Nearly 10% of the population was of a nominal Christian faith. Religious tolerance was the norm. Let us pray that God will strengthen their faith in this time of crisis and will raise up Godly leaders to be His ministers of love and peace within that war torn nation.
Prayer: Dear Jesus,
There is little that we can do as individuals to stop the war in that country. We know that war is hell and that the people of that nation are passing through hell right now, because of the war and instability. We call upon you, Lord. Hear our prayers and come to the aid of the people of that nation. Come to the aid of those who want the fighting to stop. You said, "Blessed are the meek." Save the meek, the weak, the poor, and the persecuted.

Bring peace to that nation. Stop the war mongers and those who are promoting the war for their own personal or political agenda. Stop them, Lord. Bring the evil they are promoting upon their own heads. Bring peace to that nation. Bless those who truly want peace and are truly seeking for peace, whichever side they may be on.
You said, “Blessed are the peacemakers...” Bless the peacemakers in that war torn nation and internationally, wherever they may be and whoever they are. Lord, put pressure on the international bodies to really desire and press for peace. Rebuke those who are using the war for their own agenda or their country's political or religious agenda. Move the hearts of Your people to cry out to You for peace and to cry out to their governments to pursue avenues for peace.

Lord, You promised that if we called, You would answer. Hear our prayers. Send help to the broken people of that war torn nation, those who want peace. Bless them and strengthen them. Raise up a bulwarks in their defence. May the angel of the Lord encamp around about them and be their guardian.
Lord, your hand is not shortened that it cannot save. Save thy children who are crying out to You in desperation. Hear their cries and answer from above. May the elements of war and those that incite violence and war suffer the evil they desire for others. In Jesus´ name, we pray. Amen.
