Verse of the Day: Psalm 122:6 - Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.


Prayer:

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray that this ceasefire holds, that Israelis, innocent civilians, as well as our soldiers can catch their breath and regroup, and that the people of Lebanon can catch their breath and regroup.
Pray that Hezbollah is not able to use these next 60 days to move more terrorists and weapons into position to attack Israel again. Pray that Israel is to be very vigilant in these 60 days and to make sure that Hezbollah does not cheat in the pursuit of attacking Israel all over again.
