A Current Events Prayer for Israel 2

Father God, I just read on the news that Hamas has released the names of the four hostages that will be released tomorrow at 400 p.m. Israeli time. 

Protect them. Put Your angels around them and protect them. Help them not be frightened or angry. Help them to be confident in You and give them shalom. Help them believe they really are going home. Let their release not be traumatizing to them.

Prepare them to come back to the world, to their families and loved ones, and to learn all that has happened while they have been away. 

Thank You in advance for their release.

May their release go smoothly and may they embrace their family. 

Help their families and loved ones be what they need, when they need it.

Help them realize they are about to have a new beginning in which You and them hold the pen and they get to choose how to write the rest of the story.

Give them total and complete healing as they gain in complete confidence in You and the Torah. You are the God who has never (and will never) fail them. You have been with them all along.

Help them embrace their history as a people even more, as Your chosen people. They are the apple of Your eye.

Thank you, Abba.
