Prayer for the Holy Land

Pray for the Holy Land

Today, we lift our eyes and heart to you Lord.
 
Heal our land from wars, pains, violence and sufferings.
 
Lord you said, " Peace be still" and the storm was stilled.
 
Let peace reign in the Holy Land and touch the hearts of all Palestinians and Israelis and the global world to collectively strengthen our resolve to justice and peace and let be no more bloodshed and starvation amidst us.
 
We pray for the dead of the senseless war, the orphaned children, the injured and in pain women and old, and of the abducted and prisoners for their safety.
 
Lord, heal the hearts and minds of your people and speak into this crisis that would bring in your Peace and overturn the hatred and conflict to compassion and solidarity.
 
Strengthen us and pour your blessings and wisdom above us to be doers of your commandments and become agents and bridges of justice, peace and reconciliation in our communities.
 
Please oh Lord cover with your warm love the scattered populations affected by this crisis and wash away their pains. Use us oh Lord to show your love for the affected. Touch our sisters and brothers in all places to be the loving home for the displaced.
 
We pray to you Lord and submit the Palestinian and Israeli populations to work together and proclaim your name, reclaim their dignity and heal the Holy Land.
 
We pray for the souls of the humanitarian volunteers, journalists and advocates for peace and justice who died in this war. Let no blood thirsty interests prevail.
 
We raise your name and Pray for JustPeace in the Holy Land.
