“Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” (Proverbs 4:6)
After yesterday’s strikes between Israel and Iran, our hearts are burdened, and our prayers must be guided by God’s wisdom. Wisdom steadies leaders, strengthens those who defend the innocent, and helps decisions be made with clarity rather than fear. As we build this Wall of Prayer, we intercede for Israel’s protection and for mercy over all who are in harm’s way.
Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, watch over Israel in this hour. Give wisdom to Israel’s leaders and defenders, grant discernment, unity, and courage, and place a shield over every home and community under threat. Comfort the grieving, heal the wounded, and sustain all who are weary and afraid.
We also lift up the people of Iran. Guard innocent families, comfort those who mourn, and open a path for many to live without fear. In Your time, let every barrier to truth be removed, and let hearts be opened to hear Your Word clearly. Raise up men and women who will seek You, and let the light of the Messiah shine across Iran with hope, healing, and peace. Amen.
