Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up the nation of Israel. We pray for peace and protection over the land and its people. Lord, we acknowledge that You have a special plan and purpose for Israel, as stated in Your Word.
In Genesis 32, we see how Jacob prayed and reminded You of Your promise to him. We pray, just as Jacob did, that You would remember Your promises to Israel. Your Word declares in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." We ask that You fulfill Your good word towards Israel and bring about peace and prosperity.
We also ask for wisdom and discernment for the leaders of Israel as they navigate through challenging times. May they seek Your guidance and make decisions that align with Your will. We pray for unity among the people of Israel, that they may stand strong together in the face of adversity.
Lord, we do not claim to fully understand the events unfolding in the world, but we trust in Your sovereignty. We believe that You are in control, and nothing happens without Your knowledge. We ask that You grant peace to those who are affected by conflicts and wars, and bring about reconciliation and healing.
As we pray for Israel, we also pray for all nations and peoples who are experiencing turmoil and unrest. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus .
In Jesus' name, we pray, amen.
