Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14)
As we seek to walk closely with the Lord, we are reminded that peace and holiness are not optional, but essential. Our pursuit of peace with others and our desire to live set apart for God are powerful testimonies to a watching world. Today, we choose to walk in holiness and peace, joining our hearts in intercession for Israel and for all who dwell within her borders.
Lord, You are holy, and You call Your people to reflect Your holiness in every part of life. Today we ask that You stir our hearts to live in peace with others and to walk in purity before You. As we pray for Israel, grant her leaders wisdom that seeks peace, and protect her people from those who pursue violence. Let righteousness, justice, and holiness flourish within her land. Shape us, as we stand in prayer, into a people who reflect Your character, so that through our lives and our intercession, many would be drawn closer to You. Amen.
