“Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.” (Jude 1:2)

God’s heart toward His people is full of compassion and kindness. In days of pressure, fear, and unrest, we can boldly ask Him to pour out mercy, to guard with peace, and to surround with His faithful love, especially over Israel and all who dwell in the land.

Lord, we come to You asking that Israel would be covered with Your mercy, steadied by Your peace, and surrounded by Your love. Be near to those who are grieving, anxious, or weary, and show kindness to families longing for safety and rest. Grant calm and clarity to leaders, courage and protection to soldiers and security forces, and unity among those who seek the good of the nation. Let acts of compassion increase in the midst of tension, and let Your peace push back fear and hatred. As we form a wall of prayer around Israel, may Your mercy, peace, and love be poured out in great measure across the land and in every heart that looks to You. Amen.
