Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the nation of Israel to You. We pray for Your divine protection over Israel, that You would surround them with Your mighty angels and shield them from all harm and danger. Lord, we ask that You would bring peace and security to the land, and that You would frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm Your people.
We specifically lift up the hostages who have been taken by Hamas. Lord, we ask for their safe release and return to their families. We pray for comfort and strength for their loved ones during this difficult time. Father, we know that nothing is impossible for You, and we trust in Your power to intervene and bring about a miraculous deliverance.
We also pray that You would reveal Yourself as the Lord of Israel to all those who doubt and oppose Your chosen people. May Your glory be made manifest in the land, and may hearts be turned towards You. Lord, we ask that You would bring about a transformation in the hearts of those who seek to harm Israel, that they may come to know You as their Savior and Lord.
We claim the promises of Your Word, as it says in Jeremiah 29:11-13, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
