Prayer Items for the Week
Pray that the Lord would help brothers and sisters to draw closer to Him during the Advent season, remembering the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us come together in prayer, seeking the grace of God to bring lasting peace to the Israel-Gaza conflict. May the Lord's hand guide and inspire all parties involved towards a peaceful and just resolution, where the rights and well-being of all people in the region are respected, and suffering comes to an end. Also, pray for the swift release of hostages and for the reduction of civilian casualties. May the Lord awaken believers to cherish peaceful days and spread the gospel quickly.
