But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.
Psalm 31:22b
As we watch devastating events taking place in the Middle East, we are not mere spectators. We don’t just see headlines. We see people who are struggling, who grieve, who suffer, who are frightened, and who are in great need.
As the crisis unfolds, we can help through prayer. We will cry out to God on their behalf, asking Him to bring about true peace as only He can. Join us in prayer.
