Please Pray For Israel

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem as well as Israel as it weighs its response to Iran's strikes on the country during the weekend. Iran initiated an unprecedented retaliatory attack on Israel that included hundreds of missiles and drones launched primarily from its own soil—and also by Iran-backed groups based in several other countries. Thankfully, almost everything fired at Israel was intercepted before entering the country's territory according to the Israel Defense Forces. It has been over six months since Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis on October 7 and took hostages. While Israel’s war against Hamas continues to rage, 134 of the 253 people taken captive remain hostages—among them 11 foreign nationals.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
— Deuteronomy 7:6 NIV
