A Prayer for Israel

Heavenly Father,
The psalmist tells us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”
So I pray for peace for Your chosen people, Israel, and their beloved city
today. You have planned for Israel, provided for Israel, and protected Israel for
thousands of years.
But as in the days of old, there are those today who seek to harm, even destroy,
Your people.
So I ask you to keep Israel in Your loving care. Put a spiritual hedge of
protect around Your people and their land.
Watch over this nation as a Good Shepherd watches over His flock, and may
Your chosen people find their ultimate safety and security in You.
While You watch over Your people, may Your Spirit awaken in them a hunger
to embrace their Messiah—the One who died for them—until they see Him
face to face.
We pray this in His name,
Amen.
Psalm 122:6

A Prayer for Israel

Keep Israel in Your loving care. Put a
spiritual hedge of protection around
Your people and their land. Watch
over this nation as a good shepherd
watches over his flock, and may Your
chosen people find their ultimate
safety and security in You.

OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS Our brothers and sisters the whole house of Israel, who are in distress and captivity who wander over sea and over land — may God have mercy on them, and bring them from distress to comfort, from darkness to light, from slavery to redemption, now, swiftly, and soon. And let us say: Amen.
