Jerusalem

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.’ For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, ‘Peace be within you.’” (Psalm 122:6-8). These words written by David in Psalm 122 are a timeless guide for how we should pray as conflict arises in the region surrounding Israel. As the church, we are called to stand in the gap and ask God to grant as much peace as is possible before the Prince of Peace Himself—Jesus Christ—comes again. What if we all took a moment even now to pray for the blessing and protection of the Jewish people, just as the Scriptures exhort us to do. Now that’s something to pray about!
