Pray for Israel

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6

The Mideast has been called the powder keg of the world. And so it is.

When you pray for peace in Jerusalem, in a sense you are asking for world peace. You are requesting peace for the refugee children who have lived their entire lives in fear and poverty. You ask for an end to a family feud which dates back thousands of years. You seek a time when defense budgets are unnecessary.

Could it be that praying for the peace of Jerusalem is a prayer for the return of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom on earth?

Ultimately, yes.
But today you can pray for:
– A Solution to the current war in the Gaza Strip
– Mission work among the Israelis (some are ready for the Gospel)
– The Israeli economy
– A strong U.S. policy in support of Israel.

We are not Israel’s guarantor. God is. But He has promised to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her.

Israel. Beloved for the sake of their fathers, who gave us the Scriptures - and our Savior.

Add to your prayer list the displaced Jewish, Arab and other peoples around the world.
