Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the people of Gaza in this time of sorrow, where violence has claimed lives, including those of children. You see the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds; let Your comfort reach grieving families and communities caught in conflict. Reveal Jesus to those who walk in darkness and bring Your light into every troubled heart. Restrain further bloodshed and confusion, and open eyes among leaders and militants to the peace found only in Christ. Sustain believers in Gaza with courage and love as they seek to bear witness amid turmoil. Establish Your kingdom there, for Yours is the power, the hope, and the glory. Amen.
