Prayers for the Body of Messiah

1. The Body of Messiah

   • Thank You for entrusting Your body with the responsibility to stand in prayer for this nation.
     
     
   • Keep us faithful in the belief that our prayer is needful and effective. (James 5:16)
     
     
   • Keep us watchful in prayer - to see that You are indeed answering our prayers. (Ephesians 6:18)
     
     
   • Raise up more praying people and more prayer groups around Israel who will take this responsibility seriously.
     
     
   • Prompt the leaders of Your body to call the people to prayer more and more.
     
     
   • Release all whom You have called to leadership in Your body.
     
     
   • Protect all in leadership. Protect their marriages. Keep them walking in humility and protect them from building their own kingdoms in place of Your kingdom. Give them respect and honor toward each other. Protect leaders from burn-out.
     
     
   • Keep our eyes on You, o Lord and guard us with Your shield. (Psalm 3:3)
     
     
   • Thank You that Your body includes Israelis alongside brethren who are visitors from the nations. Let each find their place in the body and recognize the place You have given to others.
