Christian Silence

The broad refusal to condemn the Hamas attack on Israel is one of the most disheartening things I have witnessed because it shows what is at the heart of so many.

The current situation between Israel/Palestine/Hamas/Gaza has shown that far too many are willing to remain silent when faced with terrorism, as well as take a perspective that is completely feeling based yet has no factual evidence.

I am particularly infuriated with Christians who attempt to placate this horrendous situation by saying the history between Palestine and Israel somehow justifies the actions of terrorists.

When it comes to writing about the horrors Israelis are experiencing right now, it’s difficult to find the right words.

All I can do is pray.

Oh Lord, I pray for those suffering in Israel. I pray for the women and girls, the boys and men taken as hostages to be used and abused. I pray they know there are millions of people around the world praying for them, standing with them in the Spiritual realm, believing they will get through this atrocity. I pray you fill their minds with thoughts of peace, that regardless of the horrors they have endured, they know their God is with them, standing beside them, loving them and holding them through this.
