The grief and sorrow across Israel is unimaginable. Thousands have been killed and wounded as the terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, and war has ensued. Families are grieving the loss of loved ones as others try to determine the whereabouts of those who are missing.

Evangelical leaders have spoken out against the attacks, calling Christians to pray and urging policy leaders to take action to protect the innocent in Israel.

The psalmist wrote in Psalm 88:1-2, “Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out before you day and night. May my prayer reach your presence; listen to my cry.”

The SBC Executive Committee and International Mission Board have created prayer guides that can be used to help guide our prayer times.

May God bring peace to the Middle East
