Urif, the West Bank, Palestine.
Soldiers storm a village day after day. Shooting rubber bullets at its
inhabitants and their homes. Allowing religious extremists to throw
rocks into schools. Dousing the population with teargas. Which has
caused seventeen women to have miscarriages in the last month. Killing
children who have yet to be born. Vicious acts of forced abortion, and
of terror against a whole population.

God, please bring justice. Work within us to step up against these
atrocities. Bring justice and peace and hope to a land that is filled
with cruelty, oppression and war.
Bring your justice, peace and hope to every part of the world where
there is injustice and war. Every nation, every city, every village,
every school, every workplace, every home.
Make us Your hands and feet. Let us see You in the broken, the hurting,
the hungry, the sick, the oppressed. Let us remember that what we do to
them we literally do to You.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
