Lord of mercy and grace, have mercy on Your children in Palestine. Your children are sick, scared, and dying because they have nowhere to escape the violence. Jesus, the Advocate, please advocate for peace, changing hearts that are set to bring harm and destruction, a stop this is insanity and inhumane, cruel war. Jesus, You are the hope and Savior needed. Amen.

Father, our hearts are broken. We weep before You, asking that You would be close to the suffering, and that Your mercy and justice would prevail. We ask You for the miracle of peace and deliverance. We beg You, Lord. May You bring many, many good things out of what seems to us like sheer tragedy and darkness. In Jesus name, I pray.🙏

Thank you Mercy - such a heartbreaking situation. Praying Psalm 91 for these beloved sisters and brothers:

“You who sit down in the High God’s presence, spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow, Say this: “God, you’re my refuge. I trust in you and I’m safe!” That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you— under them you’re perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm. Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day, Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon.”

Amen. I was thinking of that psalm when I was praying for them earlier. Thank you for for sharing it here. I love this translation. Is it the Message?

It is the Message - I find it often gives a fresh insight into familiar verses. 😊
