A Prayer for the Middle East Crisis

 

God of the ages, we watch the images, we hear the words,  we see the articles, and our hearts break, our souls ache, our words falter.  We yearn to respond, to reach out to Lebanese, Israelis, and Palestinians,
all our sisters and brothers.  Show us ways to show our care.  Guide leaders of nations and people to turn from violence and seek the ways of peace; to do justice; and to walk humbly with you.  We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
