Israel Prayer Points – How to Pray for Israel

• God will bless those who bless Abraham’s descendants; and curse those who curse them (Genesis 12:2)

• Israel would fear the Lord

Who among you fears The Lord, obeys the voice of His Servant [Messiah], and still walks in darkness, without light? Let him trust in the name of YHWH and lean upon his God. (Isa. 50:10) – God’s judgments on Israel at various times of her history do not void His covenant (Ezekiel 37).

• Israel would trust in the Lord again

We do bless You that Your Word speaks into our struggles as we walk with You in this life and encourages us to trust You in faith, regardless of how we feel (Prov. 3:5; Heb. 11:1-6). – You always lead us even when we are not sure what You are doing, and often we see this only as we look back on our walk with You (Psa. 77:19). God’s covenant with Israel is everlasting (Genesis 17:7, 19)

• Darkness would come out from the eyes and nation of Israel

We praise You for being our Shepherd who leads us through this world’s darkness (Psa. 23:1-6).

• The Prince of Peace would reign over hearts of the People of God

We find our peace in You, Yeshua, as You have already overcome the world (John 16:33). – We rest in You as regardless of the headlines or how we feel, as You do reign (Isa. 52:7). God instructs us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) – There is only one way for anyone, including Jewish people, to be reconciled to God (John 14:6)

Lord God of Israel, we are so grateful to have You as our refuge and hiding place, and to know that You promised to never leave us or forsake us (Psa. 27:5; 46:1; Heb. 13:5). The Land of Israel belongs to God (Leviticus 25:23, Joel 2:18) – God gave His people the Land of Israel as an eternal possession (Genesis 15, 17:7‒8, Genesis 48:4, Psalm 105:7‒11) – God has not rejected Israel (Romans 9‒11)

• God’s Word would arise in authority in the life of Israel

From the Torah portion: He humbled you, allowed you to go hungry, and fed you with the manna, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so that He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of YHWH. (Deut. 8:3)
