Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Reconciliation, we lift up the families of southern Lebanon who have suffered great loss and the communities in Israel living under constant threat. You see the devastation that war leaves behind, and Your heart is for the children lost and the families shattered by violence. Establish Your peace in this land where both Jew and Gentile long for safety and hope. Reveal Jesus as the true peace for those who mourn on both sides, and let His salvation flow across borders, binding up the brokenhearted and setting the captives free. Raise up voices of reconciliation among leaders and communities, and let justice roll down like waters. We trust in Your mercy and sovereignty, believing that You can bring beauty from ashes. For the sake of Your great name, Amen.
