“May the prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.” (Psalm 141:2)

Just as incense rises and fills the temple, so our prayers ascend to the Lord, carrying our devotion and our petitions. When we lift our hands in prayer for Israel, it is a sacred offering, pleasing to God and powerful in the spiritual realm.

Lord, let our prayers rise before You like sweet incense. As we lift our hands and hearts for the peace and protection of Israel, receive our worship and intercession as a holy offering. May Your presence surround Israel like a shield, and may our prayers be a continual sacrifice that honors You and blesses Your people. Amen.
