Pray with the global church

God of Compassion and Justice, we lift up the people of Gaza, where violence has taken lives and sowed fear once more. You see the suffering of families caught in the crossfire, and Your heart grieves at the devastation in their midst. In Your mercy, bring comfort to the bereaved and healing to the wounded. Let Your peace descend upon this land, silencing the weapons that bring destruction. Reveal Jesus to those who are hardened by conflict, that His light might break through the shadows of hatred. Guard the believers in Gaza, and grant them courage and hope as they bear witness to Your love. Establish Your justice in Gaza, and allow Your righteousness to shine forth for all to see. For the sake of Your name, we trust in Your unfailing love to bring restoration. Amen.
