Verse of the Day: Matthew chapter 11:28-30 - When Jesus said to the people that he saw, and from other scriptures that are near and related to these, but he saw, the people of the holy land as sheep without a shepherd, harassed, helpless, discouraged, and depressed. And he said to them, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Prayer:

Pray for Khalil Sayeg and his family that God will bless and strengthen them.
Pray for supernatural healing and calm for every single person who's been so terribly traumatized by this war.
