A CALL TO PRAY FOR ISRAEL From Archbishop Beach
Prayer Alert: Pray for Peace in Israel
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I greet you in the Name of Christ Jesus our Lord and only Savior. I am writing to ask you to pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. As you have probably heard on the news, Israel was attacked by Hamas today and they are now at war. We have numerous brothers and sisters there and currently we have numerous folks on pilgrimages. Below is a summary on how to pray from Christ Church Jerusalem and CMJ.
In Christ,
+foley
----
From CMJ: Today, more than ever, the land of Israel and its people need your prayers! Today is a holy day in Israel and this morning, Hamas militants from Gaza launched a massive assault in southern Israel.
❗️In the last 7 hours over 3200 rockets have been fired into Israeli villages and cities. Tragically, the Iron Dome defense system is being overwhelmed, and reports of casualties are emerging.
❗️The head of the Israeli Police Force confirmed in a public statement that there are 21 locations within Israel, where security forces are clashing with Hamas militants. The are dozens of unconfirmed reports of kidnappings. Israeli media are reporting that at least three villages in southern Israel are under Hamas control.
❗️Surgical wings in many Israeli hospitals are completely full. Israel emergency services have alerted the public to a drastic shortage of blood in blood banks. Confirmed reports of over 300 wounded so far since 7 a.m. this morning. 20 deaths have been confirmed.
❗️The IDF has begun its official response with reports of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Please pray:
- Pray for wisdom for the leadership of Israel.
- Pray for strength for the medical services.
- Pray for God's sovereignty and comforting presence to stretch out over southern Israel and the Gaza Strip.
- Pray for mercy for those that have been taken hostage.
- Pray for the people of Gaza that they would come to know the Prince of peace, Jesus Christ.
Above all, pray for peace. Pray for swords to be beaten into plowshares. Pray that the people of this region will seek His face. Pray for the Lord's healing over this Land, a place so dear to his heart.
