Praying for peace in the Middle East

I’m sure we have all been shocked by recent atrocities in Israel and Gaza over the past week and wondered how can we pray for this situation?

Here are four things we can be praying for:

  • We can pray for protection of people, the majority of whom are caught up as innocent bystanders in this conflict.

  • Pray for peace in the region and both short term and long term solution - Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers.’ (Psalm 122:6-7)

  • Pray for divine intervention to this human made catastrophe. When we can’t see a solution we know a God who intercedes for us - Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. (Luke 12:2)

  • Pray for Jews and Muslims in this country who are receiving hatred and discrimination.
