Psalm 122: 6-9
Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "May you have peace." For the sake of the Lord our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
O my Father, Lord God Almighty, I pray for Jerusalem! Please let her not be divided and given over to her enemies! Please preserve Your people there in safety from attacks. Lord of Heaven's Armies, defend Your people, Your city, Your holy Temple, the place You have set Your Name--even though the building is gone and an idol's temple occupies that geographical spot at this time.
You have said that Your Temple is now the bodies of Your people whom You have chosen out of every Nation. Please protect Your sheep, Your children, especially those who are in countries filled with Your enemies. And strengthen Your children in America.
I pray for our leaders, our legislators and judges and all our elected and appointed officials over us that they would govern and rule according to Your righteousness, so that we can live our lives freely in godliness.
And You will receive all the glory, all the credit for Your wisdom and power to design and plan it all out and to carry our Your plan in Your way and in Your time.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
