Pray with the global church

Righteous Father, we lift up the lands of Lebanon and Israel as conflict continues to cast its shadow over countless lives. Families live amidst destruction and uncertainty, and the cries for peace seem distant. You have promised that You hear the cries of the afflicted and You will arise to bring justice and truth. Restrain the forces of violence and let Your peace descend upon this region. Reveal Jesus to those who wage war and to the leaders who make decisions from afar. Strengthen the believers in Lebanon and Israel, that their lives may shine as beacons of hope and reconciliation. Let Your Word be a lamp in the darkness, guiding all people toward Your light. To You belong justice, mercy, and everlasting peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
