“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8)
Israel matters deeply to us because Israel matters deeply to God. Today we turn our hearts toward Israel again with steady love, faithful care, and a real desire to stand close in prayer.
Lord, we lift up Israel with love that stays present and strong. Let Your love cover Israel with protection, calm every troubled place, and hold every community near to Your heart. Give wisdom to Israel’s leaders, and strengthen every soldier, guard, and first responder with courage and clarity. Bring comfort to families who are carrying loss, strain, or uncertainty, and remind them that they are not forgotten. We pray for peace over Jerusalem and for lasting unity, safety, and care across the nation of Israel. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
