Prayer for Peace of Jerusalem

 

Father, in the name of Jesus and according to your Word, we long and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray that its inhabitants may be born again. I pray that You, Lord, will be a refuge and a strong hold to the children of Israel. Father, Your word says “multitudes are in the valley of decision” and whoever calls upon Your name shall be delivered and saved. Have mercy upon Israel, and be gracious to them, O Lord, and consider they fight for their land to be restored. You, Lord, are their strength and stronghold in their day of trouble. We pray that they are righteous before You, and that You will make even their enemies to be at peace with them. Your Word says, You will deliver those from whom we intercede, who are not innocent, through the cleanliness of your hands. May they realize that their defense and shield depends upon You.

We thank You for Your Word, Lord, that You have a covenant with Israel, and that You will take away their sin. They are Your beloved. Your word also says that Your gifts are irrevocable. You never withdraw Your gifts once they are given, and You do not change your mind about those to whom You give Your grace, or to whom You send your call. Though they have walked in sin and been rebellious toward you, Lord, we pray that now they will repent and obtain Your mercy, and forgiveness through Your son, Jesus. We praise You, Lord, for Your compassion and Your forgiveness to Your people. We praise You, that they are under Your protection and divine guidance. Israel is Your special possession, and peculiar treasure. We pray that You will spare the people of Israel, for Your word states that all Israel shall be saved!

Thank you, Father, for delivering us all from every evil work. Thank you, Father, on the authority You have given the believer, with the name of Jesus. We love You, and praise You. Every day, with new reasons, do we praise Your name!

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May all those that love you “the Holy City!” prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces!
