Thoughts: Still today, the peace of Jerusalem is important. It was a huge debate at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Presbyterian Church reaffirmed its desire for a two state solution- that all parties should recognize that Israel has a right to exist and the Palestinians have a right to exist. When we see the news, we should not ignore it as if it is far away and does not effect us. We are called to pray. It is not ineffective or speaking into the air to pray for peace. It is not simply a wishing into a vacuum. Rather, it is speaking to the heart of God, echoing back to Him what He has asked us to do.
Prayer: Lord, you are the Prince of Peace. Have mercy on us. Bring peace to the Middle East.
