Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we turn to You for Natalie Abudayyeh and all those facing imprisonment in Ramallah. In a place where walls and bars hold many, may Your presence be felt deeply. Reveal Yourself as the one who sets captives free and binds up broken hearts. May these cells be filled with singing, joy, and laughter. Turn a place of confinement into a place of remembrance and meditation of You. Guard Natalie with Your peace that surpasses understanding, keeping her mind and heart strong. Grant her an unyielding hope, even behind iron doors. Turn the eyes of authorities toward justice, and reveal Jesus to both captors and prisoners alike. We ask for a grace-filled transformation throughout Israel and Palestine, where swords are beaten into plowshares. For the glory of Your great name we pray. Amen.
