Dear Father in heaven, we love and honor your ways even when they are bitter ways. We long for courage and strength. Yahvah, help us to believe. Grant faith to the millions surrounded by death, faith that overcomes everything through utmost self-denial. Let your light shine out to bring life to the nations in the midst of all that is happening. Your light shall lead and guide us, and peace will come, a deeper peace than we have ever known. Remember each of us in all our concerns, and grant that the struggles of life may lead us to peace. If hard and bitter ways should be our lot, help us to remain steadfast, never complaining about our burdens even in the most difficult days, for through grief and trouble the way leads to you. Father, as we also come to this time of the war in Israel, that Hamas has started, we pray that You will be in charge of things there and that this war is over soon and that the people of Israel will be speared anymore killings, or whatever happens there. We know that we are living in the last days and the last times, and Father, we look to You to bless and to help where it is needed. Touch each and everyone of those in Israel that being affected by this way. We pray that You will be with us all during this time. Have Your way in all things now. Halleluyah
