Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the West Bank, where violence and fear cast shadows over daily life. You see the terror unleashed upon civilians, journalists, and defenders of human rights, and Your heart grieves for the oppressed and afflicted. Establish Your peace in the hearts of those who are hurting and weary, and restrain the hands of those who incite violence. Reveal Jesus to both the persecuted and the persecutors, that hearts may turn from fear to love. Guard the innocent and sustain those who work for justice and peace in this land. May Your kingdom come in the West Bank as it is in heaven, for the glory of Your name. Amen.
