Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the people of Gaza, where plans for depopulation and destruction unfold amidst ongoing suffering. You see the cries of the oppressed and do not turn away. Shelter these families, and let Your justice roll down like mighty waters in this land. Restrain those who seek violence and dispossession, and reveal Jesus to leaders and communities who have known only conflict. Strengthen the church in Gaza to be a beacon of hope and peace, and let their love testify to the One who breaks chains and sets captives free. May Your kingdom come in Gaza, for the honor of Your name and glory. Amen.
