17/10/13 - English

Lord, we continue to lift the Syrian people up to you, but especially wish to pray for the safety of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Syrian Arab Red Crescent members who were kidnapped in northern Syria this week. We pray that you would protect them, and empower the brave people working to help those in need. Lord in your mercy…

Merciful God, we also wish to lift the residents of the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus up to you. This Palestinian camp has been under siege for the past six months, leading to dire conditions with people lacking basic supplies and even dying of starvation. Lord, we pray for an end to the siege, an end to the war, and a lasting peace over the entire region. Lord in your mercy…

In the wake of increased attacks by settlers, we pray that you would protect and bless Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. Imbue them with your peace so they may take joy in the productivity of this time. Lord in your mercy…

Lord, we pray your blessing on Sabeel’s Young Women’s Meeting this Friday. We thank you for this opportunity to raise up new leaders among Palestinian women, and pray for the meeting to go smoothly. We also pray your blessing on Sabeel Nazareth’s programs for the week, and we thank you for your continued presence in Sabeel’s activities. Lord in your mercy…

Lord, we pray along with the World Council of Churches for the countries of Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. Lord in your mercy…
