prayers for Gaza

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Israeli army's attack on Gaza. May we pray for the people of Gaza who remain under siege and who suffer the world's silence and blindness. May we pray for the leaders of the nation of Israel, that mercy and compassion might rule in their hearts.
