Pray with the global church

God of Peace and Justice, we lift up the communities of Jabal Amel, where violence has erupted across southern Lebanon. You are the One who makes wars cease and breaks the bow, and we ask for Your peace to reign over these lands. Restrain the hands that hold weapons, protect those caught in the crossfire, and let Your justice roll like a river through this region. Reveal the Prince of Peace to soldiers and leaders, to fearful families, and to those who watch in silence. Strengthen the believers in these areas to be beacons of hope and reconciliation. For the sake of Your great name, let peace and justice embrace here. Amen.
