Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Jerusalem In The Scriptures

Nehemiah’s Prayer

1. The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:

In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2. Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.

3. They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”

4. When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 5. Then I said:

“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6. let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.

8. “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9. but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’

10. “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”

I was cupbearer to the king.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

As "Cupbearer To The King", Nehemiah had a Responsible and Exalted Position Among the Servants of the King of Persia. Not only was he the Head Wine Steward, but it was his job to taste the King's food and determine if it was poisoned!
In this capacity, he developed an extremely trusted and intimate relationship with the King, and further reading will show that the King was very fond of Nehemiah as a Person, not just a Servant.
Nevertheless, upon hearing of the dire straits of those who had survived the destruction of Jerusalem and Solomon's Temple, and who were left behind as "unimportant" when the Jews were carried off to Babylon, Nehemiah is stricken with GRIEF over His People, and Over The Holy City.
His prayer is one of the most sincere and touching in the Scriptures, but is often overlooked in favor of the Towering Magnificence of the Psalms of David.
His prayer could be prayed today, for our own nation, with very few changes in wording.

“They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name.

Come and pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and for Our Beloved Nation.

Thank you for your post.

Agreed that our prayers must be for this nation and for Israel.

The greatest need for both nations is that we be drawn to our Lord.
