Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

Psalm 122:6-9 ESV

5 Ways to Pray

1. Pray for the protection of all civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian. Pray God's supernatural protection upon all who are affected by the war (families, mothers, fathers, children, and elderly).

_{"Blessed be the Lord God, The God of Israel, who alone works wonders." Psalms 72:18}

2. Pray for God's grace and mercy to be poured out upon the families who have witnessed atrocities against their loved ones.

_{"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalms 34:17-18}

3. Pray for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as they fight Hamas. May they be supernaturally protected by God Almighty. May they know and experience His protection, His provision, and His presence.

_{"He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge; his faithfullness is a shield and wall." Psalms 91:4}

4. Pray for the safe release of Israeli hostages.

_{The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. Isaiah 61:1}
