[Today's Prayer] Lebanon, where gunfire ceases after two months... Refugees return to the “home they missed” in procession

As Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah entered into a 60-day ceasefire at 4 a.m. on the 27th (local time), long-awaited peace has come to Lebanon, where gunfire has not subsided for months.

According to foreign news agencies such as Reuters and the Associated Press that day, residents of southern Lebanon who had fled Israeli attacks hurriedly boarded vehicles to return home starting from the early hours of the morning, despite warnings from authorities to remain in hiding until the Israeli army completely withdrew.

Israel and Hezbollah agreed to cease fighting for 60 days on the condition that Hezbollah forces withdraw from the southern border area of ​​Lebanon and Israeli troops withdraw from Lebanon.

Thousands of Lebanese government troops and UN peacekeepers will be deployed in southern Lebanon from which Hezbollah withdrew, and a US-led international coalition will monitor compliance with the agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that if Hezbollah violates the agreement, the attack will resume, but there is disagreement over whether Israel actually has the authority to resume war on its own initiative, the AP reported.

Meanwhile, the AP reported that as of this morning, when the ceasefire took effect, there had been no reported violations of the agreement.

The Lebanese military also said this morning that it was preparing to redeploy troops to southern Lebanon in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:10-11)

God the Father, who wants all nations to be saved and know the truth, we hear the news that the war between Israel and Hezbollah has entered a 60-day ceasefire.

Thank you for responding to the prayers of the entire world and bringing about a ceasefire in a war that seemed never-ending. It is currently a 60-day ceasefire and we are not sure if all the terms of the ceasefire agreement will be smoothly implemented, but we believe that the war will end when we pray.

Have mercy on Lebanon and Israel, who are exhausted and wounded in spirit due to the long war, and in this time when the God of grace calls them to the Lord in Christ, please reconcile them with the blood of the cross and bring about an amazing work of salvation.

Fulfill peace with the blood of the cross and let the churches of Lebanon and Israel become a solid foundation of peace with the gospel of Jesus Christ reconciling us with God.

In this way, let Lebanon arise as the key to the kingdom of heaven in the Arab world and fulfill the Key 2% mission to open the closed doors of the Arab world, and let Israel rise as the last disciple who proclaims Yeshua and leads all nations to the Lord.
