Since we last prayed for Israel in March, several more anti-Israeli attacks have happened, bringing the death toll up to 18 (including two Ukrainians and an Arab-Israeli police officer). At least 29 Palestinians have also died. Last week, just after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the Jewish Passover feast overlapped, three Israelis were killed by ax, and yet more unrest followed, including two Palestinian deaths. Yesterday, a reporter (American) was killed and another injured. This time last year, we prayed through an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas. Let’s continue to pray….
Lord, please comfort those who mourn. Bring an end to this wave of violence and protect the innocent. March Your angel armies through the streets to restrain wrong and bring forth right. Steal into every home with Your beauty and grace, touching every heart and awakening it to You. Make a way for every person in this region to hear Your Good News in a way they can easily understand. Lift the veil from their eyes so they will see You as You truly are. Whatever religious or other reasons both Muslims and Jews have held onto to keep them from Your love, please topple those barriers now and give them a hunger to know You intimately. Whenever they pray, come and meet them in those prayers. Talk to them. Plead with them to listen. Let them hear Your voice so clearly, they cannot evade Your words of truth. Invade their dreams at night, give them visions during the day. Place the Good News in their view as they watch movies or scroll through the internet. Grab their attention and pull them in with Your love and grace. Tear down every wall of tradition so that nothing stands between them and Truth. Set them free to believe in the Prince of Peace who came to bring them life everlasting. Touch their hearts so dramatically they cannot help but surrender to the only Way, Truth and Life. Mend broken relationships. Heal those who have been deeply hurt. May they taste of Your goodness and live forever.
