Peace and Prosperity

Psalm 122: 6-9
Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.” For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

Prayers are so important to God. This single act of obedience can change your life and others. God wants us to rely on Him completely. God doesn’t want our prayers to be selfish. He wants us to intercede for others as well.

Make sure you are praying for your family and community.  Pray for this nation and all the nations of the world. Pray specifically for Israel today. Pray that God’s provision will be all around the walls of Jerusalem. The scripture says, for the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.” 

For hundreds and hundreds of years we have seen God’s chosen people go through every kind of situation imaginable. We have seen similar things here in our own lives. We can relate to other countries that hate us. We need to support and love Israel. They are facing very tough times and need all of our prayers. Let’s remember to pray for Israel and our own country today for God to give us peace and prosperity.
