Pray with the global church

God of All Knowledge, we lift up the Christian schools in Jerusalem as they face closures due to permit issues for their staff. You are the One who grants wisdom and opens doors which no one can shut. Establish a path for these schools to resume, and sustain the teachers and students in this time of uncertainty. Reveal Your truth to the authorities involved, that they may act justly and with understanding. Guard the hearts of the children and educators, that they may not grow weary or lose hope. Let the faith of those affected shine brightly, bearing witness to Your steadfast love in Jerusalem. In Your wisdom and mercy, move among the people and systems that hold the power to change this situation, for the sake of Your name. Amen.
