Heavenly Father,

In this time of turmoil and uncertainty, we lift up the nation of Israel to You. We pray for hearts to be softened, for forgiveness to bloom where pain has rooted deep, and for peace to descend like morning dew over lands long parched by conflict.

Lord, as Your Word in Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” May those in leadership and in the streets alike be stirred by a spirit of reconciliation, choosing the path of unity over division.

Grant Your people strength, Lord. As Deuteronomy 31:6 declares, may they be strong and of good courage, knowing that You go with them, that You will not fail nor forsake them. Shelter those who suffer, and empower those who strive to do what is right.

Pour out wisdom upon the land, as You have promised in James 1:5, giving it freely to those who ask. Guide minds and hearts toward decisions rooted in righteousness, justice, and compassion.

We also pray for our own hearts, that we may be instruments of peace in our thoughts, prayers, and actions. Help us to cling to Your promises and walk in Your light, even when the world feels shadowed.

In Jesus’ holy name we pray,
Amen.
