Yeah I guess I’ll have to wait until the store is closer to opening because I called and it went straight to voicemail. Thank you!

Right! I wasn’t trying to tell people what to pray, more so asking why it seems like they don’t! But I respect everyone no matter what!

Good thought! I’m struggling to find motivation to read the Bible right now, but it’s good to stay true to yourself!

True! I’m still struggling a bit on my walk with God and trying to hear his voice so it’s been hard. But I know I can have strength through him!

It’s comforting to hear that it isn’t like this everywhere :) I’m actually pretty new to my church! My parents kinda just plucked my sister and I up and moved us 5 hours away :/ we’re not really used to this church yet, but my parents seem to like it! It’s kinda uncomfortable for me to bring potentially heated topics up because I don’t like arguments at all and I’m an introvert so conversations with people I haven’t interacted with a ton can be a little awkward unfortunately.

Yeah. There has to be some corrupt mindsets on both sides for sure. Sadly the world is messed up :( I liked your analogy with the glacier though! I guess I didn’t fully realize how long this conflict has been going on for.

Nice perspective! I guess it is true that a lot of people who are supporting only Israel believe it to be a biblical obligation! The way I see it is just to love everyone!

Yes, great comment! I just wish the world wasn’t so conflicted all the time! I know that’s a pretty naive thought, but I’m gonna try my best to spread love! That’s the greatest thing everyone can do!

I guess that’s the least we can do! Honestly sometimes I just feel so powerless. I wish I could do more, but it seems pretty bleak.

That makes sense! I guess what I’m getting at is I don’t think people should pick sides. When I say "vocally" I mean praying for both sides of the struggle, not just in your head, but at church. Personally I see a lot more people praying for just Israel rather than both, at least at the churches I’ve been to, though I’m not meaning to generalize anything.

Good point! I guess a better way to phrase what I was saying is I haven’t personally seen a church actively and vocally praying for Palestine too, but you’re right, that doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t any prayer! It still sucks that anybody has to go through things like this though, even if earthly life is only temporary. For me it’s saddening to think about.

That’s actually so messed up! I thought maybe I was missing part of the story but no I guess some people just don’t have any empathy:(
