ALT Eternal One, we come before you to pray for our families and friends around the world, especially those in the land of Israel and the wider region, as they sit, once again, in their safe rooms and bomb shelters. We pray that their lives be preserved, and their dreams for a better future be fulfilled, speedily and without further loss. Preserve those who protect them, comfort those who mourn, heal those who are wounded in body and spirit, and steady the hearts of all who live in fear. In our nighttime prayers we say: “Source of our life and our Sovereign, cause us to lie down in peace and rise again to enjoy life!” At this time of countering evil, we pray for all the innocents caught up in this war, may they be preserved in life, and may Your gifts of freedom and hope reign once again in a world that suffers so much.
