Scripture: Psalm 34:14-15
"Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry."
Commentary:
Efforts to preserve peace and protect civilians in northern Syria reflect a longing for just stability amid ongoing violence. Most people living there just want daily safety and relief from fear. Calls for restraint echo the scriptural value of actively seeking peace rather than resigning to cycles of conflict.
