Last week, Israel bombed another school-turned-shelter in Gaza during a time of prayer. Reports from Gaza indicate that over 100 Palestinians were killed in the attack, with many more injured. Eyewitnesses have described the bombing as one of the most horrific massacres since October 7th. Paramedics reported that it was nearly impossible to find a single intact body, with remains scattered across the school. Families were left to receive their loved ones in plastic bags.
● Crucified Messiah, every time we blink another massacre occurs. Schools, hospitals, safe-zones, and refugee camps are all targeted one by one. Lord, as we struggle to find words and for many, we have no more tears, we simply utter the words of the Psalmist: “Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy” (Psalm 130:1-2). Redeem this broken world.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
