Heavenly Father, look with mercy upon Christians who live amid war and conflict, especially in the Middle East. Strengthen their faith in Your providence and fill their hearts with the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, make them instruments of reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing in their communities. May their steadfast witness become seeds of hope that bear lasting fruit for the coming of Your Kingdom. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
