13/3/14 - English

Please be present with the people of Nazareth this week as the municipal elections are held again. Please dispel the tension created by the first election in October and allow for stability and harmony to develop among the entire community.Lord in your mercy…

Merciful God,PM Netanyahu and Pres. Abbas are both meeting with Pres. Obama in the United States this week and next. We trust that you know the motives of their hearts, and that regardless of the outcome of this peace process, you will be faithful to the people of Palestine and Israel in bringing about a just peace. Lord in your mercy…

This past weekend, dozens of Israeli teenagers sent a letter to PM Netanyahu stating their refusal to serve in the Israeli military because of the occupation and abuses of the army. We praise you for this example of solidarity and nonviolence, and ask that you give these men and women strength to endure on the path of peaceful resistance. Lord in your mercy…

Gracious God, we ask your blessing on Sabeel’s activities this week, both with the Nazareth office and the Jerusalem office. Please grant the Women’s program safe travel to the Negev on Friday, and bless the students involved in our school program on Thursday, our multiple film screenings this week, and our many group visits.Lord in your mercy…

Lord, we pray along with the World Council of Churches for the countries ofMyanmar and Thailand. Lord in your mercy…
