PRAYER OVER IMMIGRATION

Allow us to hear and respond to Your desires for those who would be Americans. As a country who believes You created all men equal, we pray for Your guidance and wisdom in how we treat those who would want to be American. Guide our leaders to an honorable and wise policy for immigration. As a nation built by immigrants, we pray for Your protection and direction for the newest immigrants to our country. We pray that our immigrants will be a part of restoring America to You, instead of part of the effort to transform America away from our founders’ intent and vision.

  • Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice (Deuteronomy 24:17).

HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST OF THOSE WHO ARE PRESERVING OUR CULTURE AS SALT & LIGHT IN THE AREAS OF IMMIGRATION:

  • Government officials seeking Biblical solutions to illegal immigration

  • All the federal organizations and state officials dedicated to protecting national borders

  • All sheriffs and border security who secure our borders

  • Christian organizations, Houses of Prayer/Prayer Centers, praying churches, and other intercessors dedicated to seeking God’s heart on immigration issues

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL

Lord, we pray for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, the Biblical capital of Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.

  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).
