As we continue our 21-day Isaiah 62 Fast, today’s focus is on praying for Israel’s leaders and government. Your commitment to intercede alongside us is making a difference!
Day 2 Prayer Focus: Pray for Wisdom & Unity for Israel’s Leaders Amid Crisis
Scripture: “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NKJV)
Today, let’s intercede for Israel’s leaders and government, asking the Lord to grant them wisdom, discernment, and guidance in their decision-making during this critical time. Israel faces internal divisions over judicial reform, sparking mass protests and warnings of potential civil war. External threats include a nuclear-armed Iran and militant groups attacking Jerusalem.
Consider the following points as you pray:
-
Pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders as they navigate the crisis, that they would seek God’s direction and make decisions in the best interest of the nation.
-
Ask the Lord to bring unity and cooperation among political factions, Jews, and Arabs, to prevent further division and potential civil war.
-
Intercede for protection from external threats, such as Iran’s nuclear program and militant attacks on Jerusalem.
-
Pray that Israel’s leaders will listen to and value the input of Messianic believers working within the government, who gain wisdom from God.
