Gracious God, unite all who love you in daily prayers for wisdom and restraint on the part of the leaders of Israel, the Palestinian National Authority, and Hamas: Benjamin, Mahmoud, and Ismail. Flood their forecourts with diplomats and their ears with the wails of the innocent victims of useless violence. If they all have a seat at the table, if they’re weary enough of grievance and bloodshed, if they agree that all in the region deserve freedom, security, and the dignity of national self-determination, even masters of war can be architects of your peace. In the name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
