Prayer point
Pray for Israelis and global Jewish communities facing trauma
Pray for Government
I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2 World English Bible
Reflection
Ongoing security threats and rocket alarms leave deep emotional scars on families seeking safety, while hostile rhetoric and rising hatred create fear for Jewish neighbours in local communities. Emotional exhaustion and persistent anxiety require steadfast spiritual support and compassion. Intercede for divine comfort over those enduring trauma, protection against hostility, and the renewal of strength for leaders providing care. Ask for peace to guard hearts, wisdom for security officials, and courage for communities standing against prejudice.
Prayer
Pray for Israelis and the global Jewish community as they deal with different levels of trauma. In Israel, families are grappling with anxiety from frequent sirens signalling incoming missiles, while concerns about the effectiveness of the Iron Dome against advanced weapons adds to the stress. Additionally, Jewish communities worldwide are facing rising anti-semitism.
