God works in Ironic Ways: Psalm 34:17 — “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.” The conflict with Iran has now reached its third week. During this time, nearly 3,000 Israelis have been injured by rocket and drone strikes, and 14 have been killed. Across northern, central, and southern Israel, thousands of people have been evacuated as hotels and bomb shelters fill to capacity. The Islamic Republic and its terror proxies strike with only minutes—sometimes even seconds—of warning, leaving the entire Holy Land under threat. Yet even in these difficult days, change happens whenever people choose light—a choice made possible through our support and prayers. Let us lift them up once more, praying for blessing and hoping for the light of shalom, peace, to shine over Israel. PRAYER POINTS We pray for the recovery of the 3,000 Israelis who have been injured since the start of the war. We also lift up the first responders and rescue volunteers who helped save them, praying for their continued protection so they may continue their lifesaving work. “Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals” (Psalm 36:6). We mourn for the 14 Israelis who have been killed in strikes by Iran and its terror proxies since the beginning of this latest conflict and pray for the well-being and comfort of their families. With every lifesaving effort, we think of them. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (Psalm 73:26). We pray for Israel’s friends in the United States and for the U.S. servicemen who have died fighting alongside Israel. We pray for protection and blessing for every brave man and woman of the IDF and U.S. Army answering the call against terror. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor” (Ecclesiastes 4:9).
