Pray with the global church

Sovereign Lord, we lift up the borderlands of Israel and Lebanon as they stand at the threshold of a conditional ceasefire. You are the One who stills the tumult of nations and brings peace in the midst of strife. We ask You to establish this fragile agreement and to silence the voices that call for renewed conflict. Reveal Jesus as the Prince of Peace to those who have lived with tension and fear, and let His peace surpassing all understanding guard hearts and minds on both sides of the border. Strengthen the church in these regions to be a witness to reconciliation and hope. To You belong wisdom, peace, and eternal sovereignty through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
