Pray →Sovereign Lord, we lift up the land of Iran as it trembles beneath the weight of frequent earthquakes. You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Be near to the people of Iran, especially those who find themselves poor in spirit, mourning, and meek amidst these trials. Let Your comfort and presence become their stronghold. Reveal Jesus to those who seek hope beyond the shaking ground, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds. Strengthen the believers in Iran to be vessels of Your love and mercy, showing the way of peace in times of distress. To You belong power, compassion, wisdom, and eternal glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pray →Lord of Compassion and Justice, we lift up Gaza where the lives of children are caught in the crossfire of conflict. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit — hold the children of Gaza in Your encompassing mercy. Restrain the hand of violence that seeks to harm, and bring an end to the suffering that echoes through generations. Reveal Jesus to those who perpetrate harm and to those who suffer under its weight, that they may find peace and reconciliation in Him. Strengthen the faithful in Gaza with courage and hope, that their lives may testify to Your justice and love. To You belong mercy, justice, and everlasting peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
