At this moment wicked schemes and plans are being made for terrorism, murder, destruction and war -

a.       Pray that these plans would not be fulfilled – that Israeli Intelligence, Police and Military forces would be alert, effective, sharp and quick to neutralize any plan by Israel’s enemies. Pray for their protection.

b.      Pray that in battle our forces would not lose perspective of the “Image of God”, even in those who passionately desire to destroy Israel.

c.       Pray that in all of Israel’s successes she would not grow proud through her own efforts, forces and power but would humbly see God’s merciful hand of protection.

Pray that the Arab world will strongly resist the radical terrorists in their midst.

Pray that the network of evil weaved from Iran will be exposed. Pray that the Lord will
equip the nations of the world to be strong enough to take positive action.

"A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be
moved" (Proverbs 12:3). 

Pray that the world will know and recognize the strong bias against Israel, active
within much of the international media.

"Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power, Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the
enemy. And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those who rise up against
You" (Exodus 15:6-7).
