Invite your friends to join you in praying the following prayer over Israel:

Father, You told us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and we pause to lift that nation and the Jewish people before You. Thank You that You have chosen them for a purpose through which we have all benefited. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that the voices that are screaming hatred and demanding hateful things would be silenced. We also pray for our nation to not dictate any policy over Israel and the Middle East that would bring Your judgment upon us. Give our leaders wise counsel, and may any counsel contrary to Your purposes fall empty to the ground. Thank You that the One who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps—You watch over Your purposes in the earth. Only You secure our future. Awaken Your people, and give us the courage to stand for truth and the boldness to honor You wherever You take us. Most of all, may You be pleased. In Jesus' name, amen.
