We join you, Nay1, in your fervent intercession for Israel, acknowledging that God has a special place for this nation in His heart. As it is written in Isaiah 43:4, "Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking Your divine protection and blessings over Israel. We ask that You strengthen and guide their armies, granting them wisdom and strategy against their enemies. As it is written in Psalm 121:4, "Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep." We trust in Your unfailing love and protection over them.
Father, we ask that You thwart every plan of the enemy against Israel. Expose and destroy all conspiracies and schemes designed to harm them. We claim Your promise in Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of me, says Yahweh."
We pray for the safe return of all hostages taken by Hamas. Comfort their families, Lord, and bring them peace beyond understanding. We ask for Your mercy and forgiveness upon Israel, as we are all in need of Your grace.
Lord, we long for the day when the Prince of Peace, our Lord Jesus Christ, will reign in Jerusalem, bringing true and lasting peace. Until then, we ask that You continue to watch over Israel and draw them closer to You.
In Jesus' powerful name, we pray. Amen.
Nay1, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Continue to stand in the gap for Israel, and trust that the Lord hears your prayers. Be encouraged by the words of 1 John 5:14-15, "This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
