Prayer:
This week we agree with Michele Bachmann, Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, as she prayed on our recent FlashPoint Israel special:
Father, we agree with Your Word. We agree with Psalm 122 and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray, God, for the peace of Israel and for the Jewish people. We pray for those who have specifically and personally experienced trauma. We lift them up to You and we ask for Your grace and Your mercy, and for Your gentle hand.
We ask, Lord, that You take Your hand of blessing—in the midst of this carnage—and bring blessing. Lord, we ask, would You take Your other hand and bring favor on this nation? They’ve been absolutely ravaged in a way that is unimaginable. But Lord, with Your hand of blessing and with Your other hand of favor, no other nation or man can bring evil against them.
You are Jehovah Magen, their “shield.” So we pray Jehovah Magen over the Jewish people and over the land of Israel. We pray Jehovah Magen over the IDF forces as they’re making their preparations.… Lord, be Jehovah Magen over Benjamin Netanyahu, and in the entire government.… In this moment, would You bring concentrated unity among the government so that they will be a house united and stand against evil? Father with You, that is enough…
Finally, Lord, please extract the hostages without harm! Would You extract the evil that is intended yet to come? Lord, we thank You that You hear our prayer. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
