Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts filled with compassion and concern for Zainab Abu Salama and the Salama family in Gaza. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We lift up this family to You, asking for Your divine protection and care over them.
Lord, shield them from the evil, violence, and destruction that surrounds them. Your Word tells us, "The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one" (2 Thessalonians 3:3). We pray that Your faithful protection will be their fortress in these perilous times.
Father, we ask that You provide for their physical needs. Replenish and nourish their bodies with good food and safe drinking water. Your Word assures us that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We trust in Your provision for Zainab and her family.
We also pray for their health and well-being. Keep disease far from them, Lord, and let them find themselves healthy and strong. "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul" (3 John 1:2).
Lord, protect them from the bombing, missiles, snipers, and white phosphorus that threaten their lives. "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me" (Psalm 138:7). May Your hand of deliverance be upon them.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
