“Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.”
(Psalms 3:2-3)

We are in shock, angry, in mourning. In a few short hours hundreds of lives were snuffed out, women, men, children, elderly. Several thousand were wounded, over a hundred were taken hostage. More than three thousand rockets were fired into the southern half of the country. There is not a family in the country that has not lost a family member or a friend.

More than ever, we need your prayers. Prayers for those who mourn. Prayers for God to use this tragic event to cause people to seek God about their own eternal destiny.

And we at the Bible Society in Israel ask you to pray that God give us wisdom in these days. Wisdom how to comfort. Wisdom how to pray. Wisdom and grace to be His messengers, serving His kingdom, that we not weaken His message with our own anger.

Pray with us that God will use all those leaders whose decisions in these days will determine the fate of so many people. May our loving God bring this disaster to an end.

At the Bible Society, by the grace of God, we are providing help with the basic necessities to those who have lost their loved ones and their homes. If it is on your heart, you can also join and help those who are in great need right now.
