Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the families of the West Bank, where the lives of children and teens are cut short by violence. In places where innocence is shattered, and grief runs deep, establish Your peace that surpasses understanding. You are near to the brokenhearted; comfort the families who mourn and bind their wounds with Your love. Reveal Jesus as the Prince of Peace in the hearts of those who wield weapons and those who bear their scars. Raise up leaders who will seek the welfare of these children above all else, and let righteousness and peace kiss in this troubled land. For the glory of Your name, we entrust these lives to Your care. Amen.
