In the West Bank, Israel has denied medical care and treatment to a 21 year old Palestinian detainee who is suffering from cancer and malnutrition. Currently, there are 10,400 Palestinians in Israeli prisons, not including those detained from Gaza during the last 15 months of war, and many have faced illness and malnutrition due to the neglect and torture by Israeli authorities.
God who dwells among all the captives, we lift up our hearts for those who are suffering under oppression, especially the 21-year-old Palestinian detainee denied medical care. We pray for all imprisoned unjustly, those afflicted by illness, malnutrition, and neglect. You are the God who sees and sustains; we know your Spirit is at work even now, shaking the walls of prisons and calling forth justice in the face of cruelty. We pray with faith that liberation will come, that the oppressed will rise, and that freedom will reign. Until that day, embolden us to be co-workers in the struggle for justice.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
