“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.
Isaiah 40:1 World English Bible
Reflection
Rising hostility and prejudice threaten the safety and peace of Jewish neighbours, synagogues, and community centres. When hatred takes root, Christians must actively demonstrate friendship, protection, and solidarity. Ask the Lord to shield Jewish families from fear and harm, granting wisdom to law enforcement and civic leaders. Pray that churches choose courage over silence, actively building bridges of trust and extending true Christian love whenever hatred rears its head.
Prayer
Pray for protection over Jewish communities worldwide and in Canada as anti-Semitism rises, and for the Church to be a strong, loving ally and bridge-builder.
