PRAYER FOR THANKSGIVING
Thank You for all the bountiful blessings You have poured out on America. We praise You, knowing that all good things come from Your hand. Thank You for Your Creation, Your Word, Your Son, Your Spirit and Your Truth. Thank You that You make Your true character known to those who truly seek You. Thank You for providing the way for forgiveness and for healing in our lives and in our nation. Thank You for Your patience, Your mercy, Your pardon, and Your provision. Thank You for the faith of our founders, and for giving them Your wisdom. Thank You for those who have gone before us who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to establish this country and provide for our freedom. Thank You for all those who have put their lives on the line for the freedom and welfare of others. Thank You for the religious freedoms we enjoy – to gather, to worship, and to pray. In Your precious son’s name, Amen.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).
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).
