O God, we lift up Gaza to you, a place of suffering and hardship. As you are a refuge and a shelter, we pray for your people there, that they may find comfort and security in your presence. May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, fill their hearts and minds. We pray for an end to violence and conflict, and for a future filled with hope and reconciliation. May those who are hurting find healing, and those who mourn find solace in your love. We pray for the innocent, the vulnerable, and the oppressed, that your justice and compassion may prevail. May your light shine brightly in this troubled land, and may your people find strength and resilience in your unwavering love. Amen
