Prayer

Heavenly Father,
We earnestly pray for all the people living and working in the land of the Holy One.
We long for peace and understaning so that all the people can feel free and secure.
Help all of us strive to build bridges of reconciliation and love, instead of walls of separation, which only creates fear and insecurity in the hearts and minds of everyone.
We pray that those in authority will use their positions wisely, fairly, and we ask that you touch their hearts to understand the suffering and destruction selfish decisions create.
This we ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
