A prayer for the Solidarity with the Suffering delegation
In response to a call from Christian partners in Palestine-Israel (Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center and Kairos Palestine), a delegation of thirty-five people, mostly Presbyterians, have begun a solidarity visit to Palestine and Israel. The Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) of the PC(USA) organized the delegation. Find reports on the IPMN blog.
A prayer for the Solidarity with the Suffering delegation
God of all peoples,
God who creates us for peace,
God who calls us to pursue justice,
we thank you for people
who live into hope
by working and witnessing
for justice and peace in Israel and Palestine,
and particularly in Gaza.
For those who write emails, postcards, and letters,
those who make phone calls,
those who participate in demonstrations,
those who talk to families and friends,
those who build relationships with others,
those who make a pilgrimage to speak to elected representatives in Washington,
and all who pursue justice and peace in ways
we do not know,
we give you thanks.
We thank you for people
who visit Palestine and Israel
to listen, to learn, to stand in solidarity.
Particularly we thank you
for the participants in the
Presbyterian delegation:
Solidarity with the Suffering.
Bless their witness.
Guide their experiences.
May their efforts for justice and for peace
ripple across the church and the world.
Keep the participants safe.
Keep safe the siblings they encounter.
Lead us all to work for justice and for peace
as we are able.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

A prayer to choose love
When fear fills me,
help me choose love, God.
When worry encircles me,
help me choose love, God.
When anxiety ensnares me,
help me choose love, God.
When threats hound me,
help me choose love, God.
When indifference tempts me,
help me choose love, God.
When trouble swamps me,
help me choose love, God.
I know love’s power, God.
And I know love does not come easy.
So I ask:
In all things,
help me choose love, God.
And when I fail to love,
grant me the grace
to forgive myself
and try again to love.
In the name of Jesus
who taught and lived love I pray.
Amen.
“One way to pray in a fear-filled world is to choose love over anxiety” Henri Nouwen
