Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Our Father in Heaven,
Holy and Sanctified is Your Most Wonderful Name!
You Alone Are Worthy To Be Praised And Worshiped,
For You Alone Are The One True God.
Ancient of Days,
Rock of Ages,
Keeper of Israel, Who Never Slumbers Nor Sleeps,
How Wonderful To See Your Promises Fulfilled
So Many Centuries After Being Articulated in Your Holy Word!
For You Are The God Who Keeps Your Promises.
You Are Faithful,
Even When We Are Not.
It is a Good Thing,
To Ascend This "Stairway To Heaven",
These Songs of Ascents,
These Psalms of Degrees,
These Ancient Hymns of Pilgrimage,
As We Approach You, Step by Step,
Entering Your Gates With Thanksgiving in Our Hearts,
And Into Your Courts With Praise.
1. I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the LORD.”
2. Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
Abba, We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Word,
According To Your Will,
And According To Your Promise.
We Pray That Anything that defiles Your Holy Places will be Removed,
And that evil and violence , theft, and bloodshed will cease in Your Sanctuary.
For You Have Said:
"My House shall be called a House of Prayer for All People".
This is Your Word
and We Believe You and Stand With You.
3. Jerusalem is built
As a city that is compact together,
4. Where the tribes go up,
The tribes of the LORD,
To the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5. For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
Dear Father, Your Word Repeats Your Love For Jerusalem SO MANY times in Your Holy Word!
How Can Anyone Doubt Your Commitment to Her?
How Can Anyone Doubt Your Designation of Jerusalem As Your Holy City, For The Jewish People?
Over and Over Your Prophets and Kings Testify to that Fact!
We Pray That the blinders on the World Media and Political Leaders will fall off,
That they will be enlightened by Your Word, and will seek Justice for Your People.
We Stand against the Lies, Slander, and Calumny wrought by the enemy, in order to divide Your Holy City!
6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
7. Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
8. For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9. Because of the house of the LORD our God
I will seek your good.
Almighty Father, we Pray for Our Own Nation's Relationship with Israel.
Please help our New President renew and confirm our Friendship with This Important Ally in the Middle East.
Restore Our Honor and Integrity, Oh LORD,
That we May Once Again Hold Our Head Up Among The Nations.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen
