Verse of the Day: Psalm 121:1-2. I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Our prayer requests today are for Israel, of course. 


Prayer Request:
Pray for Israel and her allies, that God would help us, would help them in this season to stand strong together. 
Let's pray specifically for the US-Israel alliance. Please pray that God continues to use and help the United States truly and consistently stand in support of Israel in this difficult time, not to neglect or be unkind or uncompassionate towards Palestinians, but to stand with Israel as a sovereign nation and, of course, advance peace, but also advance security.
