The olive harvest has started in
Palestine. Many Palestinian communities, who earn their living from this
harvest, are unable to reach their olive groves due to the separation wall, or
their proximity to illegal settlements, or because of military intervention. We
lift our prayers for all those who are standing in solidarity with these
Palestinian farmers, especially Rabbis for Human Rights who are taking the risk
of helping them to harvest their produce. We give praise to you lord God,
who through the mouth of your prophet proclaimed that one day "...they
shall sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees and no one shall
make them afraid" (Micah 4:4)
Lord hear our prayer/and let our cry
come unto you

Since the rise of tensions in October,
Israel has imposed a policy of strict restrictions on movement, in and around,
Palestinian East Jerusalem. Some children are unable to get to their schools,
many are late for work, the sick cannot reach their hospitals, all because of
military checkpoints.
Lord, we pray that as you healed the crippled
woman, set us free from our crippling situation, so that we may stand upright
and continue to praise your name. (Luke 13:12)
Lord hear our
prayer/and let our cry come unto you

The Sabeel Witness Visit will start on
Tuesday 3rd of November. We pray for those preparing to join this trip. We pray
that the visit will take place smoothly, and that the voices of the speakers
will be heard and their experiences appreciated. Thank you lord for the safe
arrival of the early comers, give all participants the energy, openness and
intellectual curiosity to understand the situation and work towards what makes
for peace.
Lord hear our prayer/and let our cry
come unto you

We give thanks for the Sabeel ongoing
local programs, for the youth programs in Nazareth as they meet weekly for
fellowship. May the programs of Sabeel contribute to greater understanding,
mutual respect, and a just peace.
Lord hear our prayer/and let our cry
