Lord Jesus, You are enthroned as the title of Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Today we call on You, our Prince of Peace, for the peace of Jerusalem and the nation of Israel as You command (Psalm 122:6). We pray for hostilities between Hamas in Gaza and the nation of Israel to cease. Protect those innocents who are held in the treachery of Hamas as human shields. May the slaughter of innocents on both sides come to an end, since only You, Lord God, can heal the deep wounds that have festered for decades. How it must break Your heart, Lord, to see the hatred people have for the God of Israel when You shed Your blood for their salvation too. But You knew many will reject Your offer of grace and forgiveness. May those who continue to stir up strife and hatred be silenced, turn and devour one another. Guard Your people who call You Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your promise in the second part of Psalm 122:6: You will bless those who pray for Jerusalem and Israel. May Your righteousness rise in this world as the Prince of Peace reigns in the hearts of people in the Middle East and may Your peace spread around the world.
Rule and Reign, our Prince of Peace, Amen.
THANKFUL
