Lord, we pray
for the success of the Geneva II peace talks, aimed at ending the drawn-out
Syrian civil war. Let your presence be felt in the proceedings and allow these
leaders to agree to a solution which brings a just peace to Syria and the
region. Lord, we pray also for the people of Iraq, especially those living in
places where violence has gained control of their daily lives. Please break
this cycle of violence, comfort those who grieve for their loved ones, and
allow peace to take root across the country. Lord in your mercy…
Merciful God, we
give you thanks that some relief has finally come to the refugees in Yarmouk
camp in Syria. And Lord, we ask that you protect the refugees from future
involvement in the fighting, as they are already caught in the middle of the
war and deniedthe right to return to their homes. Lord in your mercy…
With the events
of the past few days, many people are beginning to wonder if violence will
again escalate between Israel and the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire agreement
November 2012. Lord, we condemn this senseless violence and pray for protection
for the people caught in the crossfire. Bring an end to the injustice and usher
in your way of peace. Lord in your mercy…
Gracious God, we
ask your blessing on Sabeel’s upcoming programs, especially as our staff
members meet with community leaders to set dates for this year’s events, and as
the Sabeel General Assembly prepares to meet on Friday in Ramallah. Lord in
your mercy…
Lord, we pray
along with the World Council of Churches for the countries of Algeria, Libya,
Tunisia, Morocco, and Western Sahara. Lord in your mercy…
