Prayer for the People of Gaza
God of mercy and justice,
We lift up the people of Gaza—families caught in the crossfire, children longing for safety, communities shattered by violence and fear. You see their suffering, their resilience, their prayers whispered in the dark. Be near to them now.
Bring peace where there is conflict. Bring healing where there is pain. Bring shelter to the displaced, food to the hungry, and comfort to the grieving. Let the cries of the innocent be heard, and let compassion rise above politics and power.
Protect the vulnerable. Strengthen the healers, the helpers, the voices calling for justice. Let the world not turn away. Let hearts open, borders soften, and humanity prevail.
We pray for an end to the violence. For dignity, freedom, and hope to be restored. For every life to be valued, and for peace to take root where war has long reigned.
Amen.
