Students across
Palestine and Israel finish their school year soon, sitting for final exams and
celebrating graduations. Please give these students the clarity of mind to
perform well on their tests, relieve them of anxiety about school and future
plans, and let the summer holiday be a welcome rest. Lord in your mercy…
God of mercy,
last Tuesday morning outside Bethlehem, the Israeli army destroyed 1500 fruit
trees belonging to the Nassar family, known for their family farm and
bridge-building organization, the Tent of Nations. We condemn this grave
injustice, especially while the Nassars are seeking legal recognition of their
ownership of the land, and we pray for mercy and justice for the many families
in Palestine for whom this is a reality. Lord in your
mercy…
Lord in your
mercy…
We continue
praying for a smooth transition in the Sabeel office, especially as programs
and activities continue. Please bless the staff of the Jerusalem and Nazareth
offices during this week, and empower all of our Friends of Sabeel to continue
working for justice in Palestine. Lord in your mercy…
Lord, we pray alongside the
World Council of Churches forthe countries of Botswana and Zimbabwe. Lord in
your mercy…
