Last week, ceasefire talks around Gaza finally resumed in Cairo, after Qatar announced a pause to ceasefire discussions in early November. The announcement comes two days after the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel took effect.
Sovereign God, you are the peace of the world. Even when the world seems filled with conflict and despair, we trust that you are at work, bringing hope and restoration. We continue to pray for a ceasefire in Gaza and for your justice to come to the whole world. Lord, we long for a day where all theologies of empire are replaced with the theologies of your inclusive, everlasting love. Until this day comes, strengthen our faith in your promises and to walk in your ways.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
