27/9/12 - English

Gracious and loving God, as the United Nations starts its deliberations this week, and as the different representatives put their cases before the international delegates, we pray they will realize that it is time to break the chains of oppression binding the Palestinian People. We pray that the international community will rise to its responsibility and lift Palestine to its rightful place among the nations. Lord, in your mercy…

Gracious and loving God, we pray for the Sabeel events taking place this week. We pray for the Sabeel women from Jerusalem retreating to Mt. Carmel and the Mt. of the Beatitudes to ponder on your words. We pray for the Nazareth Sabeel Youth visit to Al Manar Association for people with disabilities, and for the prayer service on the occasion of the festival of The Holy Cross. May your Spirit be our guide and teacher throughout these events. Lord, in your mercy...

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the three new staff members that have joined the Sabeel community this month. We praise you for your continued provision of people to continue the ministry of Sabeel year after year. Please bless Megan Giesecke, Mary Sahhar and Tania Kuttab and make them passionate and effective in the work you have given them. We lift up the work of Sabeel and pray for wisdom and vision at our upcoming strategic planning meeting. Lord, in your mercy...

We join with the World Council of Churches this week to intercede for Belarus, Moldavia, Russia and the Ukraine. Lord, in your mercy...
