A Prayer for Israel in Troubled Times

Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come for myself and my family, and affirm the truth of your word that you have not cast off the children of Israel nor disavowed the covenant you made with Abraham to bless him and his descendants forever. Through Abraham, you brought about the Messiah, and he is the one who will inherit the promises; he and all who are in him, the natural branches as well as those who have been grafted in by faith according to your mercy. Of his kingdom there shall be no end, and Jerusalem shall be made a praise throughout the earth.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I speak blessing over the Jewish people. Remember your promises to them, promises to which they cling even now, although in ignorance that Messiah has already come. Multiply your blessings to them for the sake of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and all who have placed their faith in your word and in the name of your blessed Son. Lift the partial blindness that has fallen over them, that the son of righteousness may rise upon them with healing in his wings. Draw Jacob to your embrace, and Israel to your bosom once more.

Now, Father, ambitious men are entering into league with one another and drawing their plans against the Jewish people and the land you have repeatedly said is yours, where you have chosen to establish your name forever. Men have sought to do these things before, but never have they been so near to achieving their aims. For myself and my family, I disavow their actions. The land is yours, and only you have the right to give it to whomever you will. These are evil men, seeking to divide what belongs to another. They hold positions of authority, but they do not speak for all who live under their dominion. Indeed, as a nation we have chosen new leaders who have vowed to oppose their aims, and for this reason they are acting with haste, seeking to implement their schemes before power is taken from them.

Oppose them, Father. Let the fear of the Lord fall upon them and their allies and scatter them before they can do harm. Send your angels to bind the powers behind them, and to loose confusion and futility in their ranks. If it be your will, may they repent and turn from what they seek to do; but if they will not turn, and it is your will - for whatever reason - that they continue in their plans, even if only to stumble into their judgment, remember those of us who spoke against them and turn away your anger from us.

In the name of your blessed Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all authority is given in heaven and earth, we affirm your purposes and declare that we are in your hands, amen.
