From Hatred To Healing
Right now, the world feels more divided than ever. Every day, people hear about wars, violence, and hatred. From the Middle East to Ukraine, from Africa to South and North America, millions of people are living in fear. Families are forced to leave their homes, communities are torn apart, and many are grieving for loved ones lost. Borders are unstable, governments are struggling, and hatred seems to grow faster than hope. But even in all this, God is still in control. He sees everything, and His plans are always moving forward, even when the world feels chaotic.
The problems we see are not just political or cultural. At the heart, they are spiritual. Humanity is broken because of sin, and that brokenness appears as war, hatred, and conflict. People hurt one another, nations fight, and the innocent suffer. But God has a plan to heal the world. That plan is revealed in Yeshua, the Messiah.
The name Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַmeans salvation or to save. The word Mashiach הַמָּשִׁיחַmeans the Anointed One. Jesus came to bring light into darkness, life into death, and peace into a world filled with conflict. He is God’s answer to every problem of hatred, fear, and brokenness.
Even today, the world shows the same struggles God’s people faced long ago. The fighting in Israel and Gaza has caused terrible loss of life and destruction of homes. Communities have been uprooted, families separated, and people are living in constant fear. Hatred against Jewish people is growing worldwide. Cities far from the Middle East now see attacks and threats simply because of who people are. Millions are being displaced by conflicts in Africa, North and South America, and Asia, struggling to find safety.
Even in places that are usually safe, people are worried about the world around them. Governments are unstable, protests are growing, and some nations use force to get what they want. The world seems full of anger, fear, and uncertainty. All of this shows that humans cannot create lasting peace on their own. Only God can bring true peace.
The Bible teaches us to seek peace and to work for it. Psalm 34:14 tells us to turn from evil, do what is good, and actively look for peace. The Hebrew word for “seek” is דְּרֹשׁ (derosh), which means to search carefully and with effort. God wants His people to act, even when it seems hard or impossible.
God has promised to protect His people and fulfill His plans. The prophets in the Tanakh remind us that God’s justice and love never fail. Amos 3:2 teaches that God is faithful to His people, even when humans fail. Isaiah 54:17 explains that no weapon or attack can stop His purposes. God sees all of history, and nothing happens outside His plan.
Yeshua showed us how to respond to a broken world. He never fought with weapons or armies. When people hated Him, He responded with love. When He was betrayed and arrested, He asked God to forgive those who hurt Him. This shows the kind of love God wants His people to show, love stronger than hate, patience stronger than fear, and forgiveness stronger than revenge.
The apostle Paul explains that believers must respond to evil in a way that reflects God’s heart. Romans 12:21 teaches that we should overcome evil with good. That means when we see violence, hatred, or injustice, we do not repay it with the same. Instead, we work for peace, help the suffering, and share God’s love with those around us.
The conflicts we see, in Israel, Ukraine, Africa, and Asia, and the United States are not random. They show the effects of human sin and the ways people turn away from God. Wars, protests, and humanitarian crises remind us of our need for a Savior. But God’s plan is always moving forward, even when the world feels chaotic. Psalm 89:14 reminds us that justice and righteousness are the foundation of God’s throne. His timing is perfect, even when it seems slow. Hebrews 4:13 says that a thousand years with God is like a day. He sees everything from beginning to end.
This is our hope. Yeshua’s Kingdom is not like the kingdoms of this world. His Kingdom brings peace, healing, and restoration. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). Every tear will be wiped away, and every wrong will be made right (Revelation 21:4).
Until that day, God calls His people to act. We can pray for peace and protection for those affected by war and hatred. We can help (true) refugees and support the suffering. We can love our neighbors, even those who are not like us. We can share the message of Yeshua, who brings people back to God and to one another.
God wants us to be His hands and feet in the world. We are His ambassadors, bringing peace wherever we go. Romans 12:18 teaches us to live at peace with everyone, as far as it depends on us. That means forgiving others, helping those in need, and standing for justice in God’s way, not our own.
Every act of love, mercy, or forgiveness brings the light of Yeshua into a dark world. Even as wars rage, hatred spreads, and millions suffer, His love is stronger than any darkness. His Kingdom is coming, and even now, we can live as though His Kingdom has already begun. We can bring hope, healing, and love into our families, communities, and the world.
We see the power of Yeshua in the way He transforms hearts. He can heal people who have been hurt for generations. He can bring enemies together. He can help people forgive and restore relationships. Jews, Arabs, and all nations can come together under His banner of love and peace.
Even when the world feels hopeless, God is faithful. His justice will come. His love will triumph. And we can be part of that story now by living as His people, showing His heart, and sharing His message of hope.
We live in a world full of brokenness, but Yeshua calls us to be agents of His Kingdom. When hatred rises, our love must rise higher. When violence spreads, our pursuit of peace must grow stronger. When fear grips hearts, our trust in God must deepen. Every choice to act in love, mercy, or forgiveness is a choice to bring God’s Kingdom closer.
The power of Yeshua is greater than every war, every hatred, and every problem we face today. His love can heal hearts, bring people together, and overcome divisions. No matter how broken the world seems, God is faithful. His justice will come. His love will triumph. And we are called to reflect His heart, live in hope, and bring peace to those around us.

A Prayer for World Peace and Obedience to God
Blessed are You, YHWH, our God, Creator of heaven and earth. Baruch Atah Adonai.
Father, we come before You today with heavy hearts for the world. Wars rage, hatred spreads, and Your children suffer across the nations. We lift up Israel, the Middle East, Ukraine, Africa, and every land where conflict and fear prevail. Protect the innocent, comfort the grieving, and bring shelter to those who are displaced.
Lord, we pray that Your peace, Shalom, would reign in the hearts of all people. Teach us to turn from evil and do what is good, to seek peace with intention, and to pursue it in every place we walk (Psalm 34:14). Give us courage to stand for justice, mercy, and righteousness, even when the world seems dark.
Father, we ask that You reveal Your truth to every heart. Let Your Word guide every nation, every leader, and every family. Teach us to obey Your commandments and walk in Your ways. Help us to forgive as You forgive, to love as You love, and to be instruments of Your peace. May Your Spirit inspire the hearts of all people to turn from sin and embrace Your plan for reconciliation.
Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ Lord, Jesus Christ, we thank You for Your life, Your sacrifice, and Your resurrection. Through You, the walls of hatred and division can be torn down. Bring Jews, Arabs, and Gentiles together under Your banner of love. Heal broken relationships, restore the wounded, and bring harmony where there is discord. Let the light of Your Kingdom shine into every dark corner of the earth.
Father, we pray for obedience, for hearts willing to follow Your will above their own, for nations to act justly, and for people to walk humbly with You. Let our lives be a reflection of Your mercy, love, and faithfulness. Guide our hands to help, our mouths to speak truth, and our hearts to remain steadfast in hope.
May Your justice prevail, and may Your love triumph over every hatred, fear, and oppression. Let Your Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your peace reign in the hearts of all Your children.
We ask this in the name of Yeshua, our Savior and Prince of Peace.
Amen and Amen.
