DAY 23 | State: PA
DAILY TOPIC: Relationship
PRAYER FOR RELATIONSHIP
Thank You, Lord, for clearly demonstrating the importance of relationships. We ask for Your protection over all our relationships, and for the wisdom to know how to love as you love. Thank You, Father, for forefathers who established this country based on the fact that You created all of us equal. Thank You, dear Lord, for every loving relationship in our lives. Thank You for the profound blessings and goodness we experience through loving one another. It is abundantly clear, Lord, that you designed us to be in relationships. We ask for the wisdom and insight and courage to love as You love, and to approach every relationship with You in mind. We ask You to destroy the enemy’s attempts to destroy relationships. Give us, Lord, appreciation and respect for the ways You created us different, one from another. Forgive our judgments against others and place in our hearts generosity of spirit toward others. Give us the grace to forgive each other’s mistakes, as You forgive ours. Heal the wounds of our past, Lord, and set us free from division, dissension, deception & manipulation.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these (Mark 12:30-31).
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord, thank you that the President recognized Jerusalem as the Biblical capital of Israel and moved our Embassy. We pray for peace and prosperity in Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).

We ask that You grant them wisdom and discernment, Lord, and that You make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. Lord, we ask that You direct their hearts to do Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
