Lord, we continue to pray for the
people of Syria, and wish to particularly pray for the health of Syria’s
children. At least twenty children have contracted polio in eastern Syria, but
we fear that the continued chaos and displacement could lead to an even worse
outbreak. Lord, we ask that you will protect those most vulnerable and pave the
way for health workers to reach those affected. Lord in your mercy…
Gracious God, please make your presence
felt among farmers across Palestine as they face disruptions to their harvest
and violence against their property. Recently, Israeli settlers razed
agricultural land in Nablus, Salfit, and Bethlehem for the expansion of
settlements. Lord, we remember your promise and long for the day when swords
will be beaten into plowshares and your justice will reign on the earth. Lord
in your mercy…
Lord, we ask that you would guide the
proceedings of the World Council of Churches’ 10th Assembly in
Busan, South Korea, as it begins this week. May this year’s theme, “God of
life, lead us to justice and peace,” be a driving force in planning future
programs and in our daily lives. Lord in your mercy…
We continue in our prayers for Sabeel’s
9th International Conference at the end of November, asking that you
would guide our preparations and enable us to glorify your Name in our work.
Lord in your mercy…
Lord, we pray alongside the World
Council of Churches for the Indian Ocean island nations: Comoros, Madagascar,
Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles. Lord in your mercy…
