At the same time, we know God was not caught off guard by recent events, nor has He given up on the Afghan people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As believers, God desires that we walk in hope, a hope that is grounded in His truth. Because we already know the end of God\u2019s story, we can look forward to a future day when He will restore hearts (Ezekiel 36:26) and cause the nations to walk in peace (Zechariah 9:10). For now, God is drawing the nations to Himself in worship. This includes Afghans. God can work through their current situation to turn the hearts of Afghan families to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As families who know Jesus, we can bless the Afghan people through our prayers. Why not gather together with your children and intercede on their behalf? Below are some timely requests. Each includes a tangible object to help your children focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>world map:<\/em> First locate Afghanistan.
