A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East

 

Compassionate and loving God, we stand with those who cry in anguish in Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.
With those who have lost their lives to violence, those who mourn, those who have been displaced, those who are held unjustly against their will, those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
We pray for an end to the fighting and violence
We pray for the courage to speak up for peace, to challenge the hatred in our own hearts and minds, and to do all that we can to make for the peace that builds our common life as the nations of your world.
Lord, move our hearts.

(A Prayer from Embrace the Middle East)
