“A Prayer For God’s Chosen People”

Father, as we read through the Old Testament book after book, chapter after chapter we read of numerous leaders including two women that You raised up to be rescuers of the Israelites who got into trouble time after time, most often after their hearts wandered off to other idols instead of the one true God. But the people of Israel are Your chosen possession, out of all the people on the face of the earth, so You intervened time and time again to save them from their own self-imposed demise. Today we come against their enemies, those such as Hamas and other proxies who are determined to make the Jews extinct. Because they are Your chosen people we pray that they will not only be people who follow the God of the Old Testament but follow God incarnate through the person of Jesus Christ revealed to us in the New Testament. May they come to know, accept and love Him as their Messiah and personal Savior. Just as You raised up men and women in the Old Testament period to rescue the Israelites from extinction, You raised up a Rescuer through Your Son Jesus to rescue the Jews and all peoples groups from eternal damnation and instead provide eternal life. Amen.
