West Bank

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Bless the West Bank, in the Name of Jesus, with restraint as Hamas support soars there, and pray that an entire uprising will not take place.

Bless the President and leaders of the West Bank to improve the living conditions of the vulnerable people living under occupation and go for an amicable end to the continuous conflict, resulting in deaths.

Bless the people facing property damage and terrifying aggression to find ways to settle down and take care of their children peacefully.

Pray for Christian Believers to endure suffering, show God’s love despite their hardships, and show others how to accept Jesus Christ ( The Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:9).

Millions of the Palestinian people are those who were dwelling for decades and other Arabs. There have been efforts to create a Palestinian state on the West Bank of the River Jordan and Gaza on the Mediterranean coast of no avail. The continuing conflict with Israel has made the initiations futile. There is also the dispute of the status of the Palestinians of the region.
