Bible verse of the day:
Psalm 122:6-8. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love you prosper. May there be peace within your walls and prosperity inside your fortresses. And this is the verse I love the most: For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, peace be within you. 

Prayer Request:
Pray for the people that live within those walls of Jerusalem, inside of Jerusalem, in that Old City. There are Jews and Arabs, there are Christians, and they're all there hoping and wanting to know God.
Pray that the Lord would meet them powerfully, and that He'd strengthen the church inside those walls. We do pray for our brothers and friends there, that they would know peace.
