Last week, the United States vetoed yet another U.N. Security Council resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza and release of all hostages, being the only member of the 15-member council to do so. After the presidential elections, the Biden administration continues to provide full cover for Israel, including lobbying Congress to vote against a resolution that would block arms sales to Israel.
God of Justice, we cry out against the powers and principalities that profit from oppression and favor continued suffering over a just peace for all. Holy God, liberate the hearts of those who veto peace and fill them with your light of truth and justice. Kindle the courage of nations to rise against complicity and demand an end to the slaughter of the innocent. May the Holy Spirit breathe new life into those who seek justice, breaking the chains of militarism and unyielding power.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
