Pray for Israel’s leaders, Prime Minister Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Sa’ar, Defense Minister Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Zamir, asking that they will be given wisdom from the Lord and will remain unified in their approach and strategy to deal with the situation in Gaza. Pray for the hostages who remain in Gaza and their loved ones, asking the Lord to strengthen them and sustain them with hope.

Pray for the doctors and nurses who are working in Israel’s prisons as they lay aside their personal feelings towards their patients who have committed unspeakable crimes and instead fulfill the oath of their calling—to save lives.

Pray for many inmates to become like “Y” who has found a change in his heart attitude as a result of caring for patients.

Prayer Focus

Give thanks also for the US recognition that the demands of Hamas are “outrageous” and therefore will not pressure Israel to make concessions to them.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

- Psalm 133:1

Pray that the number of Gazans who are willing to stand up against Hamas will increase and that they will not allow themselves to fall back under the domination of a government which rules by forceful terror.

- Job 5:15–16

Prayer Focus
Pray that people will understand that to be anti-Israel is the same as being antisemitic and that this understanding will result in support for the nation and people of Israel in the midst of a very difficult fight for their survival. Remember that God has called the Jewish people His special treasure and has not revoked the eternal covenant He made with Abraham.

Scripture

For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.

Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

Pray that the next generation of students in both Gaza and territory under the control of the PA will be given a clean slate when it comes to their education.

Scripture

The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
