A Prayer for Gaza: Compassion and Justice, July 25, 2025

Dear Eternal Source of Wisdom and Mercy, we approach You with heavy hearts and open eyes, witnessing a world in dire need of compassion, truth, and healing.

In Gaza, where hunger has become a pervasive affliction, we lift up the cries of children and families who languish in the shadows of bread and dignity. We implore the world to allow aid to flow freely, for justice to pierce the blockade, and for compassion to not turn away from suffering but to turn toward it with courage and care.

In the corridors of power, where decisions shape destinies, we pray for discernment. As leaders weigh clemency and long-buried secrets, we implore truth to be honored, and justice not to be traded for convenience. Let integrity guide every hand that holds authority.

Across Asia, where neighbors now clash in armed conflict, we mourn the loss of peace and implore restraint. May diplomacy rise above pride, and may the soil soaked in sorrow be tilled anew for reconciliation.

For those who voted with hope—for relief from medical burdens—and now face rising costs and diminishing coverage, we ask for compassion in policy and systems that serve the vulnerable, not the powerful. Let healing not be a privilege but a promise.

Even in sports, where glory meets grit, we pray for fairness. As whispers of mechanical deceit cloud the Tour de France, we implore integrity to ride alongside every athlete, and for victory to be earned, not engineered.

And in the realm of beauty trends, where they resurface, we ask for wisdom. Let self-worth not be measured by shade or sheen, but by the light within. May we cherish the bodies we are given and protect them with reverence, not risk.

In every headline, every heartbreak, every hope—be present. Guide us to act with love, speak with truth, and walk with humility.

May peace prevail. Not merely in treaties and talks, but in homes, hearts, and the quiet choices we make each day. Amen 💕✌️🙏
