Brothers Mohamed and Mahmoud al-Balboul, along with others,
have been on hunger strike for more than two months protesting their
administrative detention by Israel.
Mohamed has lost his eyesight as a result. Israel’s policy of
administrative detention, allows the army to detain someone without charge or
trial indefinitely. Furthermore the Israeli Supreme Court has legalized the
force-feeding hunger strikers.

Lord,
Palestinian prisoners are fasting to cast out the demon of injustice. Please
God, fill them with life through your word, as they realize that not by bread
do we have life. Lord in your mercy….

Lord, we give thanks for women across Palestine, whose
leadership, resilience and resourcefulness, in
raising families, resisting despair, embracing new livelihoods,
is transforming our community to challenge injustice. Blessed are you, gracious God, who has created women in your image. Lord in your mercy…

Palestinian
schools in East Jerusalem are now being asked to adopt the Israeli curriculum
if they want their rightful resources. There is a serious shortage of
classrooms in East Jerusalem schools, while some of the buildings rented by the
Israeli municipality to be used as schools are crowded and unfit.
·
Lord, we are asked to deny ourselves and forget
our narratives in order to receive our rightful funds! We pray for the
steadfastness of our schools as they face financial crises to remain faithful
to the message of education. Lord, evil tempts us with our own money but we
know your will of truth and justice will be done. Lord in your mercy…
Lord we pray for Sabeel`s programs and events this week including women and youth meetings in Nazareth and Jerusalem. We also lift up our gratitude for our friends around the world who translate the Wave of Prayer every week into different languages, including French, Dutch, Japanese, German and others. We also pray for friends who use this prayer and bless us by their solidarity. Lord in your mercy..
