As we celebrate Christ’s Palm-Sunday ride into Jerusalem, we should obey this Biblical instruction:
Psalm 122:6 (ESV)
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Not sure how to pray? Try these suggestions from One for Israel‘s website:
“For the Holy Spirit to convict all the people of the city about sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come (John 16:8) so that they can find truth and forgiveness in Yeshua – for people of all walks of life to find real peace with God through Yeshua
Pray against violence, and for peace and hope on the streets of Jerusalem, and against fear – that more and more would come to trust in God and find peace and love that casts out fear
For integrity in the governmental institutions and for those in positions of responsibility to walk in righteousness – for God to root out corruption
For God to raise up those who can be a witness in these high levels of Israeli society – people like the prophet Daniel
Please pray for our leaders – for the right people to be given the right positions, and for God’s wisdom that leads to peace and justice
For the Jewish and Arab believers in Jerusalem to truly love one another, and to love their enemies as well
For the destructive plans of the enemy to be thwarted, and for God’s perfect plans to come to pass”
Make it so, Lord. Amen!
