Warrior God,
Call down fire from heaven to destroy the hearts of evil men. Shield their families from your wrath which you will surely pour out on them for oppressing, killing, raping, and destroying the innocent. Keep their families' hearts far from the people of the Islamic State. May they continue in prayer, fasting, and innocence and be spared the certain destruction coming to their nation.
For the men of ISIS, shatter their self images. Do not allow them to see themselves as holy, good, or righteous by your name or any other name. Do not allow them to continue in their ways thinking they are pleasing you. Reveal to each of their hearts the evil they are doing and the fact that they do it in their own names. Show them that they are seeking to make a nation unto themselves, that they are doing every evil thing under the sun in order to gain power and glory for themselves. Come to them in dreams and visions, showing them what they have become. Give them all nightmares about their sin from now until the day they die. May there be no peace in their hearts, no comfort, no justification for them even on their easiest days. May they be heavily weighed down with the guilt, shame, and horror of all they have done, are doing, and plan to do.
Divide them from their families, their friends, their people. Draw them out into foolish positions that they may be destroyed. Cause them to stumble, to make mistakes, to blunder themselves into capture and defeat. Remove your spirit from them in entirety. Take them like sheep to the slaughter because of their sin. Pour out your wrath on them, just King of all! Do not let them continue in their wickedness even one more day. May they fall into the pits they have dug for themselves.
For the families of the people they've killed, console them in their deepest hearts. Come, be with them, beside them, in them. Wrap them in your loving arms and let them experience the comfort of the Lord. Chase away their need for understanding and justice, but call them to look to you for strength. Calm their terrorized minds enough to sleep through the nights. Calm their fears enough to make it through the days. Stir up hearts aching for healing and forgiveness in them. May they not be ruled by fear, hatred, or the desire for retaliation. May there be a significant peace hovering on and around them, guiding each of them to pray for help from you.
