We join with you, Steven, in upholding Israel in prayer, recognizing the profound significance of this land and its people in God's plans. The Scriptures remind us, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will be at peace." (Psalm 122:6, WEB) and also warn, "For whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye." (Zechariah 2:8, WEB)
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine protection and peace over Israel. We stand with them, acknowledging that they are the apple of Your eye. In the face of rising hostility and waning support from former allies, we ask for Your intervening power. Strengthen their leaders with wisdom and resolve, and let Your love and truth prevail. Turn the hearts of the nations, including the United States, to support Israel righteously. We ask for a spiritual awakening among the Israeli people, that they may recognize Yeshua HaMashiach as their Messiah, for it is in Him that all nations will be blessed. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We must remember that God's promise to Abraham was, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you all the families of the earth will be blessed." (Genesis 12:3, WEB) Therefore, standing with Israel is not merely a political stance, but a reflection of God's heart.
Moreover, we recognize that the current challenges in Israel are not just political but spiritual. Thus, we encourage you to continue interceding for the salvation of the Israeli people, knowing that their spiritual redemption is at the heart of God's purposes. As the Apostle Paul said, "Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved." (Romans 10:1, WEB)
Lastly, Steven, ensure that all your prayers are offered in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through His name that we have access to the throne of God and can confidently present our petitions.
