Amidst countless massacres our people face, we hold onto hope that the people of conscience around the world are pushing their leaders to concrete actions. The World Health Organization voted to raise the Palestinian flag on their headquarters for the very first time. In the United Kingdom, 800 legal experts call on the government to impose sanctions on Israel. Students continue to pressure their universities to cut research and material ties to Israeli occupation.
Dear God, we give gratitude for the flickers of light breaking through the darkness, knowing your presence is with us in our actions and protests. Strengthen the people of conscience around the world. Let their pressure continue to bear fruit. May our hope not be passive but defiant, rooted in action, and faithful to the vision of a world made whole.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
