“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4
Faithful and True, You are the One who keeps every promise and never turns away in times of trouble. Today, we lift Wahid and his family, living near Jerusalem, into Your care. How difficult it must be to endure a bullet wound to the head. Protect his heart as he recovers in the hospital and minister to his heart as he longs for the protection and care of his family. Thank You for the words found in Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” We ask that you minister to Wahid with their truth and comfort him in understanding that You are also caring for his family. Let Wahid begin to taste that promise even now. Wipe away fear and sadness, bring comfort into Wahid’s home, and heal not only Wahid’s thoughts but also the hearts of his family. Help them see that pain is not the end of the story because You are the God who brings life again. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. |

Jerusalem, a holy site of pilgrimage for the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is a hotbed for religious and ethnic conflict, as well as geopolitical positioning. Jews are seen pressing up against the wailing wall in anticipation of the coming Messiah who will rebuild the temple, while Muslims visit the site where they believe Muhammed ascended to heaven and was given requirements for prayer and pilgrimage.
Simultaneously, Christians are found touring the sites of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. There is much that attracts in Jerusalem, and despite an average of over 3 million tourists visiting the city yearly, the region has struggled to attain peace due to deep cultural and political rifts that has divided Israel from their neighboring countries.
Add rich diversity and 39 languages to the mix and the stage is officially set for a movement of God that will not only heal and transform the city, but turn the region on its head.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
