The grief and sorrow across Israel is unimaginable. Thousands have been killed and wounded as the terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel Oct. 7 and war has ensued. Families are grieving the loss of loved ones as others try to determine the whereabouts of those who are missing.
Evangelical leaders have spoken out [2] against the attacks, calling Christians to pray and urging policy leaders to take action to protect the innocent in Israel.
The psalmist wrote in Psalm 88:1-2, “Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out before you day and night. May my prayer reach your presence; listen to my cry.”
The SBC Executive Committee has created a prayer guide that can be used by individuals and churches. It has been formatted so it can be shared electronically or printed as a bulletin insert.
May God bring peace to the Middle East. The prayer guide is downloadable here [3] and posted below.
