Isaiah 62:1 ESV “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.”
Jehovah-Shammah, the Lord is There, we praise You for Your eternal faithfulness to Your covenants. You promised to bless those who bless Israel and You call us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Jesus, You are Prince of Peace; cause Your Peace, Your Shalom, to rest upon Israel and the Jewish peoples there and around the world.
Forgive us for our own unfaithfulness and for failing to pray for and bless those You have blessed. Forgive us for envy, resentment, or antisemitism we have held in our hearts. Cleanse us fully.
