God of Mercy, we lift up the people of Gaza facing severe shortages as aid is cut back. In a land filled with need, we ask You to sustain families, protect the vulnerable, and provide where resources falter. Stir the hearts of those able to help, so no one goes without bread. Stretch what remains until provision overflows. Reveal Jesus in every hand that offers aid, and let His love be known among all who hunger and thirst. May those entrusted with governance find wisdom for peace, and may Your Kingdom break through in this region marked by struggle. We entrust Gaza to Your care, knowing that You are near to all who call on You in truth. For the glory of Your name we pray. Amen.
