Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem





Our Father in Heaven,
We Praise Your Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy of Worship,
For You Alone Are The One True God.
Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent,
Teach us To Be Open to Opportunities,
And Teach Us Listen to Your Voice.
You Know Us Inside and Out,
And We Can Hide Nothing From You.
Thank You For the Counselors that You place in our lives
Teach us to discern which ones are good, and which ones are evil.

We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.


We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.


Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






Without going into the complete history of crime and punishment, we can say that there was a time when the prison system was for punishment only and not rehabilitation. People accused of crimes were thrown into dungeons and sometimes never heard from again. Our Founding Fathers knew that this was wrong, and so inserted a clause forbidding "cruel and unusual punishment" in our Constitution. The still spoke of "punishment", however, not "rehabilitation". Prisons were still prisons!

During the 1820's in America, there was a movement towards making the prison system a place where convicts could reflect upon their crimes and "repent", and thus the word penitentiary was born. Like other Progressive movements that did not include True Repentance and turning to the One True God for forgiveness, this experiment in secular mercy was doomed to failure. Recidivism is a profound problem, and our prison systems are horrible, frightening places, with very little "repenting" going on.

In this Psalm, David speaks of the burden of being under God's Judgement. It is not pleasant, but it DOES lead to Repentance and Redemption. This is a "Penitential Psalm" and will be followed by Songs of Deliverance!

Stay Tuned.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
