For Peace and Protection in the West Bank

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose promise embraces many peoples, we mourn that descendants of a common story now live in conflict. We grieve especially the ongoing violence and attacks in the West Bank, as well as the destruction of homes and the displacement of Palestinians. Amid worsening conditions on the ground and our feeling of helplessness, we ask that you protect and comfort families suffering these injustices. Send your Holy Spirit upon earthly leaders and authorities so that they may act with compassion and allow humanitarian groups to assist the vulnerable. As Ramadan moves from dawn to sunset, be near those who fast in fear and hope. Let each sunrise kindle restraint and each evening soften hearts. Guard the displaced, sustain the weary, and lead this wounded land toward justice and a peace shaped by your mercy. Amen.
