• Pray for Gaza

  The situation in Gaza is desperate due to the latest escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rockets are being fired, children are dying, houses are ruined, and living conditions are deteriorating. While vigorous debates on the issues and nitty-gritty of our faith is good, we must remember that Jesus gave His life for people, for their salvation, and for love. He would hate to see the Gaza situation where there is deep-set hatred and resentment, and people are killing each other recklessly.

  So can we please pray? Can we please pray for a miraculous peaceful resolution? That God will interfere in this terrible situation and that His will be done? Will you pray with me, fervently and frequently, for a God-change in Gaza?

  Dear Lord,

  You are good and merciful, and Your love is great and strong. Please let Your great self-sacrificial love permeate the minds of the Israeli authorities and the Hamas militants. Give them a strong desire to strive for peace and a resolution. Give them a burning desire to spare the lives of the innocent, and give them a way out of this. Show them Your way, and lead them out of this war. I pray for peace in Gaza. And Lord, please protect all the civilians there. Keep them safe, and give them strength to get through this crisis. I pray for Your providence in their lives, that You will improve their living conditions. I pray for the children, that somehow by Your grace and power, that they will be kept safe from trauma and permanent scarring because of this war. I pray for Your protection over their minds and hearts. Please help, Lord. Give these people the miracle they need.

  In Jesus' mighty Name,
  Amen.
