Verse of the Day: Jeremiah chapter 16:14-16 - “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the Lord, and they shall catch them. And afterward, I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

 

Prayer Request:

Pray for those pains and that brokenness and that uncertainty to draw people to ask God, who are you? Where are you? And to cry out for him because he's not far away.

Pray that the Lord would soften hearts and would cause people to cry out to know their God and to know his son, the Messiah Jesus. Pray for the believers in, the Palestinian territories that they would be a God's light, and they would bring hope to their people.
