Merciful God, we
give you thanks for the successful evacuation efforts in Homs, Syria, and ask
that you would keep this path open for aid to reach these people. Ultimately,
Lord, we pray for you to pave the way for a just peace to take hold in this
land so that no one must suffer like this anymore. Lord in your mercy…
According to
human rights organizations in Palestine and Israel, Israeli demolitions of
Palestinian houses are at a five-year high, with 663 buildings demolished in
2013. Just this week, Israeli forces demolished houses in several East Jerusalem
neighborhoods, including Jabal al-Mukabbir and Silwan. In light of these
ongoing injustices, we ask that you would empower the international community
to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people in saying “no more” to
dispossession, discrimination, and inequality. Lord in your mercy…
With one of the
driest winters on record, Palestinian farmers across the country are suffering
crop failures and hardship. Hear your people’s cries, and bless us with rain to
nourish both the land and our spirits. Lord in your mercy…
Gracious Lord,
Sabeel has been blessed with new opportunities in our local programs, and we
give you praise for the work we are beginning in schools and in educating young
people. Please continue to bless our work, including a youth meeting and a
women’s meeting by the Sabeel Nazareth office and the Young Adult Quiz Night
this Friday in Ramallah. Lord in your mercy...
Lord, we pray
alongside the World Council of Churches for the countries of Belgium,
Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Lord in your mercy…
