“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” (1 Timothy 2:1)
God has given us a simple but powerful assignment, to pray. Our words before His throne matter. As the Wall of Prayer, we respond to His call by lifting up Israel, her leaders, and her people, while also remembering all those touched by conflict and unrest. Prayer is not a last resort, it is our first and constant response.
Lord, we come to You with hearts ready to pray for Israel and for all who are affected by turmoil in the region. We ask for Your protection over Israel, for wisdom and clarity for her leaders, and for courage and safety for her soldiers and citizens. We give thanks for every way You have preserved Your people and sustained them through trial. We also bring before You the many lives in surrounding nations, praying that violence would be restrained and that truth, justice, and mercy would take root. Help us to be faithful in supplications, prayers, and thanksgivings, trusting that You hear and act. Use us to surround Israel with spiritual support and to point many hearts to You. Amen.
