Pray with Us
I will bless those who bless you… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. (Genesis 12:3)
There are no greater friends of Israel than Christians who love her people. As we turn to God in prayer this week, let us remember this powerful bond as Christians and Jews, and thank God that together we are able to stand with Israel and help her people through this war against Hamas. Pray that the people of Israel will soon know peace.
- Terror is still a threat to the Holy Land. Just last week, Adi Zohar was driving into work when a terrorist started shooting at her car, and she was wounded along with 10 others. Adi is five months pregnant—thankfully, she managed to maintain consciousness while asking others for help, which ended up saving her life. Let us pray that God will continue to watch over His people and protect them. “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31).
- IFCJ Canada is on the ground in Israel delivering basic needs and emergency assistance to those who need it most. During wartime in Israel, pray that we can reach any person who is hurting, lonely, sick or in need of comfort and care. “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me” (Psalm 28:7).
- Many families with missing loved ones have been left vulnerable due to the ongoing conflict. Pray that IFCJ Canada will be able to help the families left behind and in need of assistance. “Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you” (Psalm 5:11).
- Let us continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for peace throughout the world. “The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace” (Psalm 29:11).
