Prayer Points
“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).
As we prepare to move from summer into fall, we are reminded of the many joys this time of year brings. The High Holy Days, beginning with Rosh Hashanah, will soon be upon us, children are rejoining their friends as they return to school, and leaves are beginning to fall from the trees as the weather cools. Even amid ongoing crises, we continue to follow and trust in God, lifting our prayers for shalom, peace.
- For the first time since July, the U.S. has renewed military action against Iran, striking rocket sites near the Strait of Hormuz. Retaliatory strikes were aimed at American army bases in Jordan and the UAE. We praise God that no U.S. servicemen were killed while we pray for their protection and a pathway to peace. ““No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord” (Isaiah 54:17).
- The IDF continues operations in Gaza, as Hamas regularly violates the terms of the ceasefire by restoring terrorist infrastructure and planning kidnappings. We always pray for the brave men and women serving the Holy Land and their families – that they be kept safe and receive support for their heroism. “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14).
- The new school year has officially begun in Israel, with more than two million children and teens returning to their classrooms. As attendance steadily climbs to levels before October 7, 2023, we pray that both teachers and students are protected, and that the school year can go on uninterrupted by war and terrorism. “Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life” (Proverbs 4:13).
- The Fellowship’s ongoing support for elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union sheds light on the crises they face in their respective countries. We keep them always in our prayers even as we provide them with the material aid they so desperately need. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
- It’s been reported that more than half of Israeli tourists must hide their identity when they travel. As more stories of anti-Semitic incidents make headlines, we and our supporters come together in prayer and service for God’s people all around the world. “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord” (Leviticus 19:18).
