My heart aches for God's people as they have been forced to evacuate their settlements in Gaza. When will they ever find justice and peace? It will only be when they turn to their Messiah Jesus. God is calling them to Himself, and we must pray that they will turn to Him for mercy and grace.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!



GOD IS IN CONTROL

Though Israel suffers violence now,
the time of her deliverance will come.
God will rescue His chosen people.
Israel is His anointed one.

The time will come when all the earth
will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
As the waters fill the sea to the brim,
all people will know the truth of God’s Word.

The Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth be silent before Him.
The righteous will live by their faith in Christ,
for in mercy God will deal with our sin.

Rejoice in the Lord! God is our strength.
Write His message so everyone may hear.
Though the world is troubled by violence and war,
those who trust in Jesus need not fear.
