PRAYER FOR ISRAEL

Father, we know that You are gracious and merciful and that no man, Jew or Gentile, deserves your forgiveness or blessing. We acknowledge that every good gift comes from you and that each is a gift of grace. Our brothers in Israel are under attack. They are surrounded by folks who hate them. Like Esau their cousin, the sons of Ismael are driven by jealous anger: they hate the Israelites, they have always hated the Israelites. They would celebrate Israel’s demise and destruction. Hatred has driven them mad and they are obsessed with the destruction of Israel and the total annihilation of Christianity.

Father, we love the promises in your word and today we claim those of Ezekiel 36…In Jesus name, make Israel a light to the nations; reveal Your holiness through them. Display Your awesome power through this tiny Nation that so many despise. I pray for you to begin a work among Jews everywhere. Cleanse them of their sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. Give them a new heart. Replace the old stubborn and rebellious heart with a believing heart. May they turn to Christ by the thousands, yea millions. Fill them with Your spirit and make them conscious of their sins. Give them such great conviction that they will come to despise all the detestable things they have done to Christ. Make them utterly ashamed of their past. Put within their heart and mind a desire to return to the land of Israel. God, only you know how many there are and who they are: draw them mysteriously to their homeland. Turn the land of Israel into a Garden of Eden. We know the North {Galilee} has been transformed but we pray for both North and South. Turn the barren wilderness of the South into a garden. This should get the world’s attention. Multiply the Israelites until they cannot be counted. Make them a force for Missions and Evangelism. Do it Yahweh for Your glory. I believe it will happen but not due to my believing, due to Your promise. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!

A Prayer Praise and Commitment

Father, keep me from pride and arrogance. In spite of my many failures, pride continues to be a thorn in my flesh. Please Father, help me understand that I am the chief of sinners so that I will not to look down on anyone else. I do not do great things; I cannot solve great mysteries or do miracles but I commit myself to small things like helping my neighbor, visiting the sick and sharing your word. Please give me a quiet and gentle spirit like a child in the arms of its loving mother. I want to know the peace of a baby in its mother’s arms. People of America, put your hope in Jesus. Believe in Him now, believe in Him always. Jesus is our only hope.

[Based on Psalm 131]

Prayer For Jews And Gentiles

From the depths of my despair, from rock bottom, I call for Your help O Lord. Hear my prayer in Jesus name. Father, if you had not sent Jesus to die for our sins, we would have no hope; all our sins would be held against us and none of us could stand in judgment for our sins would be are doom. We rejoice, that in Christ all our sins have been forgiven, the charges against us have been erased. Lord Jesus, I am counting on YOU. I put my hope in YOU and YOU alone. I trust your word which is where my confidence lies. Father, I long for full redemption like a night watchman longs for dawn. May people everywhere in every nation turn to Jesus for salvation. May Jew and Gentle alike put their faith and confidence in Jesus Christ. Father you have dispersed the Jews to every continent and every nation, they are all over the globe–do a work in them. Open their eyes so they can see the One we all pierced. Raise up Jewish evangelist all over the world so that they can help us to get the gospel to the ends of the earth or so that we can help them. May Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen!
