Where relationships are broken, where people are isolated – from - TopicsExpress



          

Where relationships are broken, where people are isolated – from each other and also from goods and services that alleviate suffering – and where political processes meant to restore dignity produce cynicism and anger, grant that your mercy and life-restoring steadfastness may astound us, animating in us an eagerness to forgive and be forgiven. Empower individuals, communities, and nations to be generous and tenderhearted. Bless Palestinians and Israelis who dare to take risks for peace. Guide and refresh all those who accompany them. Help the Palestinians to see the image of God in the Israelis and the Israelis to see the image of God in the Palestinians, so that they can accept each other’s humanity and mutually recognize each other’s civil, religious, political and national rights in order to live in their states in peace based on justice, reconciliation and forgiveness. All this, and everything else that is needed for wholeness in the Holy Land, we pray, through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. If you would like to pray for peace in Gaza and for Palestinians and Israelis in your church service, you can use the prayers and litanies found here: actpalestineforum.org/resources/category/prayers/
