Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the people of Hama as they gather to remember the children lost in the massacre 15 years ago. You see every life precious in Your sight, and Your heart grieves for every innocent lost. Bind up the wounds of those who continue to mourn, and let their cries come before You. Establish peace in Hama and throughout Syria, and let righteousness and praise spring up where sorrow has long lingered. Reveal Jesus as the comforter to grieving families, the hope for a weary nation, and the light in a land shadowed by violence. Let Your kingdom come in Hama, bringing healing, justice, and reconciliation. To You belong grace, truth, peace, and everlasting dominion through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
