Let’s Pray:
Father Lord, we ask for the comfort and peace in the broken hearts of those affected by these recent violence. We ask that every spirit of confusion, hatred and enmity between the nations be dispelled in Jesus name and that Your wisdom, counsel and peace prevail instead. We pray for the protection of the innocents who are vulnerable during these attacks. We ask that both nations find their way to the one Savior of the world. In Jesus name, Amen.
And He will judge between the nations,
Isaiah 2:4
And will render decisions for many peoples;
And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.
