Last week, Josep Borrell, the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy has issued a new plea to end the war in Gaza which he warns has brough the region to the “brink of a war of unknown propositions”. Borrell’s comments stem after the Israeli assassination of several high-level Hamas and Hezbollah leaders last week.
● Prince of peace, we repent if we ever thought we had total control over our lives and the lives of others. As uncertainty is held among us in Palestine, anxious about tomorrow, unable to mourn the suffering of yesterday, and struggling in our present, we remember that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Lord, although we yearn for a ceasefire in both mind, spirit, and body, remind us that no matter the events are to come, we are to follow you and be witnesses.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
