We pray for the people of Japan,
as they continue the process of cleanup and society-building after the
earthquake that happened one year ago this week. Long after the media cameras have turned to
other crises, the slow work of re-integration continues. We are grateful for the beauty of new relationships
and intergenerational bonds that have emerged from the mountains of mangled
debris. Lord in your mercy…
Gaza is on our minds this week,
and we lift the people there up to God. We
pray that the recently brokered cease-fire will hold and that the siege will
end. Sabeel Nazareth will gather the community for an ecumenical prayer service
this Saturday for Gaza and all the people of the Middle East. We pray for peace, access to human rights and
basic needs for the people of Gaza and elsewhere in the region. Lord in your mercy…
We pray for the Sacramento
Friends of Sabeel North America conference.
The conference theme is “A Time for Justice: Supporting Human Rights in
Palestine-Israel.” We pray for
inspiration for attendees, and patience for organizers. We are so grateful for
the faithful and committed work of our Friends, near and far. Lord in your mercy…
In response to the Biblical call
to “Come and See,” Swedish Christians are preparing to come to a conference
organized by Diakonia, Bilda and Sabeel in Israel-Palestine at the end of March. Specifically this week, we pray for each conference
speaker as they prepare their remarks for this week-long event. May God guide and inspire them as they discern
exactly what to say, and how to say it so that it will minister to attendees. Lord in your mercy…
With the World Council of
Churches, we specifically pray for the churches and populations of
Burma-Myanmar and Thailand. Lord in your
mercy…
