As violence in the Middle East escalates, we invite you to join us in prayer for peace.
Lord God,
We are hurt as we once again witness the escalation of violence in the Middle East.
We pray for an end to the senseless war. We pray for compassion, mercy and restraint
We pray for wisdom among world leaders and decision makers to turn to the path of peace and restrain from violence.
We pray for the souls of those who died in the strikes and counter strikes, and for the safety of those who are caught in the crossfire.
Please protect them Oh Lord, our brethren in the region as they continue to serve in the midst of uncertainty.
We pray that violence, impunity and greed for worldly dominance end and Your peace and justice reign among us.
In Jesus Name and the Virgin Mary, Amen.
