Prayers for Peace (P4P) Blog

To combat the prevailing images of discord, CMEP's Prayers for Peace blog highlights peacebuilders as they live out the reconciliation offered in the Prophets and Jesus’ message of peace, and invites us into communal prayer.

Faithful Resilience: A Lenten Sojourn for Peace

Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) offers this Lenten devotional series entitled “Faithful Resilience: A Lenten Sojourn for Peace” which is available on our Prayers4Peace blog. This devotional series contains devotions for each Sunday of Lent focusing on Hebrews 12: 1-2:

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12: 1-2 (ESV)

Prayer and advocacy concerning peacemaking in the Holy Land is born from our faith in Jesus Christ. As Christians from across the theological spectrum we share a common passion and call given to us by God; a call which lived, died and was resurrected for us in Jesus, and; a call which is continually strengthened and guided by the Holy Spirit. To help us in this work of faith CMEP has created and gathered a variety of spiritual, and educational resources for individual and communal use to help engage your congregation in learning and reflection. Together, we hope to engage and act upon our Christian calling to be peacemakers. CMEP’s current resources include our Prayers for Peace (P4P) blog and seasonal devotions for Lent and Advent.
