“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

There is real power in knowing someone has your back. Israel was never meant to face her days alone, and we get to be the friends who keep showing up. Today we add our voices to the ones lifting her higher, because encouragement given in love builds something that lasts.

Father, we come ready to strengthen Israel with our prayers and our loyalty. Lift her spirits where weariness has crept in, and remind her that she is surrounded by friends who refuse to let go. Build up her leaders with the wisdom to guide her well in every decision they carry. Pour fresh courage into her soldiers and the ones who stand watch over her people. We are with her today and every day, cheering her on and believing for her good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
