Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified, Sanctified,
and Hallowed Be Your Most Holy and Glorious Name!
You Are So Holy and Worthy of Praise and Worship,
we are Overwhelmed by Your Glory!
It is You Who Have Made The Earth and All it Contains,
from the tiniest of Creatures,
to the Greatest of the Mountains, Forests and Deserts.
It is You Who Command the Motion of the Stars,
The Galaxies,
and the Great Singularities of Time and Space,
And it is You Who Create new Life in the Secret Place of a Mother's Womb!
Oh, Father, You Are So Wonderful,
So Glorious,
So Magnificent,
And Mere Words Don't even Tell The Story of Your Awesome Splendor!
Not by might nor by power,
but by My Spirit,’
Says the LORD of hosts.
7. ‘ Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”
8. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
9. “ The hands of Zerubbabel
Have laid the foundation of this temple;[a]
His hands shall also finish it.
Then you will know
That the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
10. For who has despised the day of small things?
For these seven rejoice to see
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
They are the eyes of the LORD,
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”
Thank You Father, for Your Word to Zerubbabel the Master Builder!
For we know that, although You gave him a specific task,
Your WORD is Eternal and Applicable to us In This Day.
We are to approach ALL tasks in life,
"Not By Might, Not By Power, but By Your Spirit".
We Pray THIS for Our Brothers and Sisters in Israel as well.
Zerubbabel's task was to rebuild Your Temple after 70 years of exile in Babylon and Persia.
Our Prayer is That You Will Protect and Defend Your People from the evil that Surrounds Them.
11. Then I answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?”
12. And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles[b] of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?”
13. Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14. So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”
Abba, Father,
from this passage,
we who are of the Christian Faith can find deep ties of kinship with the Jewish Roots of Our Faith.
Please open the eyes of those of us
who do not yet recognize the Blessed Olive Tree from which we have sprung.
We Pray For the Leaders of Our own Beloved USA
May They Receive Wisdom from You
to do the Right Thing.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.
Blessings to All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer
