Pray for Israel

Pray for Israel 

I had a very busy weekend and did not have time to watch or listen to any news, so I was shocked when I finally had a moment on Sunday afternoon to learn of the terrorist attacks in Israel on Saturday. The first news I heard on Saturday was in passing that there was an incident in Israel and my initial thought was that this seems like the same old news.  Israel is located in a very hostile neighborhood of the world and has been on the receiving end of violence for literally thousands of years. Bombs and bullets are a regular occurance for this area. But, this was not just any other day for Israel, many are calling this Isreael's 9/11. The terrorist acts like our 9/11 were directed at innocents with thousands killed, thousands more injured, hundreds missing, with hundreds more kidnapped. 

In moments like these, it is natural for anxiety to rise. My heart hurts for the innocent civilians that have been hurt and killed. My heart hurts for the innocent lives that I know will be affected by the response to this terrorism. In moments like these I feel powerless, because I am. But, I know the one who was not surprised by this and is not powerless. In fact His word the Bible tells us in Psalm 122 what we should be doing for Israel. 

We are going to dedicate the weekly Prayer Meeting to praying for Israel. Will you join us in prayer at Friendship Church’s Tuesday Night Prayer meeting at 8 PM on October 10 as we pray for Israel?
