Christian Aid, one of our Mission Partners, has produced a number of resources to help us respond to the crisis in the Middle East. Below you will find prayers, a petition and donation links.

Prayers:

A Prayer for Peace,
written by The Very Revd Canon Richard Swell, Dean of St George's College Jerusalem.

O God of all justice and peace we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.
Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths - Jews, Muslims and Christians and for all people of the land.
While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples.
Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children for to all of us you are our Heavenly Father.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen

A Prayer for the Middle East

God, hear our prayers for peace in the Middle East. 
May all people in the region be protected, safe from harm. 
We pray that this crisis will end now, with no further loss of life. 
God, may the injured and distressed know your healing presence. 
May the powerful and the decision-makers follow the paths of justice, mercy and peace. 
We pray for recognition of the dignity and value of every life. 
May the clamour of violence cease, 
Replaced by the beating of swords into ploughshares. 
God, in your name, 
Amen
