Lord, we thank you that some help has made it to the people of Yarmouk camp, but we recognize the immense need still present and ask that you keep the way open for relief to come to these people. We also pray for those caught in the airstrikes in Aleppo and implore you to put an end to these indiscriminate and merciless killings. Lord in your mercy…

Over the weekend, Israeli settlers near Ramallah uprooted over one thousand newly planted olive trees, transforming this symbol of peace into a tool of oppression. Lord, we pray a special prayer of blessing and protection for Palestinian farmers, knowing that these people who work so closely with your creation often face the most pointed injustices. Please bless the farmers with rain, productivity, safety, and joy in your nature. Lord in your mercy…
