This is heart breaking, now they are threatening to kill another Brit.
Father God..
Wrap your loving arms around the family of David,
comfort them in their time of grief
and make them aware of your presence.
Strengthen them.
Soften the hearts of the captors,
help them see the wickedness of their ways.
Show them a light that leads to you
so that they may never feel the need to carry out these acts.
Father, I ask for protection of that second hostage,
if he doesn't know you give him a vision
so that in his despair he may see that there is a better life that awaits him in Heaven.
In Jesus' name I ask these things,
Amen
