praying for her full recovery in Jesus name. We pray for the father to receive Christ as Savior before it is too late. amen
What else can we expect from a religion that only spreads hatred and violence,No decent person in their right mind would ever join it,Its disgusting that it is even permitted in this country.
How can a father do this to his own child? He desperately needs Jesus… 😪
Heavenly father, I pray for healing in Jesus' precious name 🙏
God heal her completely and let her be a living witness to you my Lord, 🙏
HER REAL FATHER IN HEAVEN KNOWS…SHE PAID A PRICE FOR HER FAITH JESUS SAID WE WOULD…WHAT AN AWESOME YOUNG LADY..MAKE HER A SHOFAR LORD🥰🥰🥰
How I wish that Muslim believers knew Jesus to understand that there is nothing physical to fight about in religion but rather spiritual warfare and stop persecuting Christians
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
O God our heavenly please me merciful. Comfort her heal her .. may her father repent of his evil deed ..
I just can’t imagine choosing such a horrible death for a family member. So very tragic.
Healing prayers! Jesus Thank you for healing the broken-hearted!
May God bless and protect her and grant her a speedy recovery . Amen
No fathers heart there no love no mercy no grace our hatred toward his very own
This is horrific- where is the UN?
It's good she did not die of the severe burns,he will live to see the scars,God will reward her in many ways.
And so the difference between God of love and God of book is seen
Cruelty is increasing in this world
