Praying for Israel & Palestine

As God's people, as the Church we need to pray for Israel & Palestine. We are reminded that God has called us to be watchmen. Isaiah 62 specifically says we are to pray for Israel day and night and not give Him any rest until Jerusalem becomes a praise on the earth. Here are some ways to intercede: 

  • Pray for peace in the region, and for this war to end quickly.
  • Pray for families who have lost loved ones, that the Lord fills their hearts with comfort and peace.
  • Pray for leaders, that they will make the right decisions.
  • Pray for believers across the land, that they have inner peace and be salt and light, and that all their financial and physical needs are met.
  • Pray that the Lord will give us wisdom on how to minister to people and help those affected by the war.
  • Pray for the protection of believers on both sides. And pray for Arab believers and Messianic believers to find unity in Jesus rather than division.
  • Pray for repentance over the extreme bloodshed that is taking place in the land, and that Satan will not succeed in his plans to harm and kill.
  • Pray that the Lord will lead many to know Him, so that they may repent and be saved.
  • Finally, pray that the Lord would grant us wisdom to care for our congregations and strengthen them in the Lord in this difficult time.
