“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall NEVER HOLD THEIR PEACE day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, KEEP NOT SILENCE, And GIVE HIM NO REST, till he stablish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth"
(Isaiah 62:6, 7).This Scripture certainly gives us no excuse for not praying for Israel. We are to give God no rest until He establishes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. In our home we have Prayer Boxes. One of our boxes is OUR ISRAEL PRAYER BOX. In this box I have cards with certain needs to pray for Israel which helps us to remember what to pray, especially for the children. I have also written many of the Scriptures that I have been posting each day in this prayer box. I think one of the most wonderful ways to pray is to pray God’s word, to bring God’s promises before Him, and remind Him of them, as He encourages us to do in the above Scripture.
I love Ezekiel 36 which is a wonderful chapter of promises of what God plans to do in the land of Israel, but at the end of the chapter He says: “I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, TO DO IT FOR THEM” (Ezekiel 36:37).
