A new weekly offering to keep our hearts, minds, and actions aligned with the people of Palestine.
After months of campaigning, protesting, and relentless pressure, Palestinian American teenager Mohammed Ibrahim, who was kidnapped by Israeli forces and detained without trial for over 9 months on the allegation of throwing stones, was released from prison. While in prison, his 20-year old cousin Sayfollah Musallet, a fellow U.S. citizen, was killed by settlers in the West Bank.
Holy God, we are thankful for the release of Mohammed, and we pray for his healing and safety. We put faith that you continue to dwell with the many youth who are still detained and tortured in Israeli military prisons, especially all who do not have the privilege of a Western passport. With Mohammed’s freedom, remind us that our actions can do much. Give us the strength of the Holy Spirit to continue our work until freedom belongs to all.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer.
