Hands raised high and knees to the floor I raise this prayer to You who holds the world in His hands. You are worthy of all prays, honor, and fear. Thank you for my breath in the morning, the strength to raise my head, and the will to walk on Your path.

This past two weeks has been a time of mourning and fear for many across the world and Middle East. Be with Israel, Your chosen people, through this time. Be with the Palestinians and protect them from their evil overlords. Bring justice to Hamas, who has caused so much pain to everyone they encounter.

Give wisdom to our leaders, courage to those resisting, comfort to those who suffer.

You are our shelter and fortresses. Thank you for being you.
