How to Pray for Israel
I grew up going to church every Sunday, as many of you probably did, but the only time I heard the word Israel mentioned was at Christmas and Easter or on the news.
I never concerned myself with “that part of the world” because it seemed so far away and not a part of my present reality. We have been so blessed to be a part of a Christian community here in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia that links the church to the importance of connecting our hearts to God’s heart for Israel.
I may never have the privilege to actually go to the city of my Savior while here on this earth, but I can pray! I know that when I pray for Israel I am praying the will of God because He tells us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” in Psalm 122:6.
The following prayer points may help you as well:
- Pray for God’s protection over Israel and her people.
- Pray that the spiritual eyes of the people would be open to see the truth and accept Jesus Christ as their true Messiah, Lord and Savior.
- Pray for more workers to have a heart to reach out to the people of Israel.
- Pray for the Holy Spirit to move and make an impact to end the religious divide.
- Pray for lasting peace between the Arabs and the Jews.
- Pray for protection for the Jewish people who have become Christians.
- Pray for the Christian workers to be protected from persecution.
I hope this helps you to focus your prayers for Israel. May you and your household be blessed as you intercede for these who are precious to God.
