Lord, today we pray for Sarah Idan of Iraq and Adar Gandelsman of Israel, two friends who met
through the Miss Universe Organization. We are thankful for the friendship between
these two women who represent countries at odds with one another. We are
impressed that they shared their friendship with the world under the banner of “peace
and love.” Lord, it greatly saddens us that these women and their families
received death threats as a result of the public acknowledgment of this friendship.
We are impressed that they did not take down their photo, nor end their
friendship, despite these threats. We ask your protection of them and their
families as they continue to publicly demonstrate that we can love and care for
people from different nations, religions and ideologies. May their season on
this global platform as Miss Iraq and Miss Israel make a difference for Middle
Eastern relations. May their examples inspire those who look up to them to work
toward harmony. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
