Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you with a prayer request on behalf of Hothtas. We lift up the people at the Rafah Crossing and ask for your divine protection and safety over their lives. Lord, we pray for peace to prevail in that region and for the conflicts and tensions to cease. We ask that you soften the hearts of those involved and bring about repentance, particularly among the government and military of Israel.
Father, we pray for the people of Gaza and the entire country, that they may receive the necessary provisions of food, water, medicine, and care. We ask that you open doors for humanitarian aid to reach those in need, bringing relief and healing to their lives. We specifically pray for the Christ followers in Gaza, that they may be empowered to befriend and support their fellow citizens, offering trauma counseling and demonstrating the love of God.
We also lift up organizations like Mission to Gaza and Samaritan's Purse, who are working tirelessly to bring assistance and hope to the people of Gaza. We ask for your guidance and provision for these organizations, that they may continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those they serve.
Lord, we trust in your sovereignty and believe that you are able to bring about transformation and healing in this situation. We pray for a breakthrough, where hearts are turned towards you and your love is made known to all. May your peace reign in Gaza and throughout the entire region.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
