Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Children In The Bible

Hagar and Ishmaell(Genesis 16)

16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”

Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.

When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”

6 “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.

7 The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”

“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.

9 Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”

11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:

“You are now pregnant
    and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,[a]
    for the Lord has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
    his hand will be against everyone
    and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
    toward[b] all his brothers.”

13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.” 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi[d]; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

15 So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.

Footnotes:

a. Genesis 16:11 Ishmael means God hears.
b. Genesis 16:12 Or live to the east / of
c. Genesis 16:13 Or seen the back of
d. Genesis 16:14 Beer Lahai Roi means well of the Living One who sees me.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
How Wonderful is Your Holy Name!
How perfect Is Your Plan,
Even When We Don't Understand It.
You Alone Are Are LORD,
You Alone Are The Most High,
You Alone Are The One True God of Abraham!

Dear LORD,
You Created The Institution of Marriage
As A Holy Covenant.
When Our Faith is Lacking,
Or We Can't See The Outcome of our Actions,
We, Like Sarah, Sometimes try to Sidestep Your Plan,
And try To Cook Up Our Own Schemes and manipulations.
The End of these Plans Seem to Always Lead To Disaster,
And we are Still Reaping the Results Today.
The Arab People Consider Themselves Descendants of Hagar and Ishmael,
And they carry Their Resentment of Sarah and HER Descendants to this Very Day.

Father,
We pray For Families In America during These troubled Times,
And We pray especially for Children, that they will come to know and serve You
And help bring about the repentance and Redemption of America.

Dear Father, as we Pray for Our Nation.
We ask You to reverse the trends of evil and selfishness
that have taken hold in our own Land.
We beg that You will restore Faith in You,
The One True God,
and that Our own Nation will Once Again be Known
as one who keeps Her Promises to Her Friends and Allies,
and NOT as A Covenant-Breaker.

We Plead With You,
That Our Leaders will be Led by Your Holy Spirit
with regards to Our Own Country's Policies Towards Jerusalem,
Or That You Will Remove Them.
We Plead That Your Will be Done,
On Earth, As It Is In Heaven

We Plead For Israeli Control Over All the Holy Sites in Israel,
So that People of All Faiths may visit them.
We Pray For Bibi Netanyahu,
and the Leaders of Israel
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.

It Is Interesting that Sarai believed God's Promise to Abraham, that he would have many descendants. The BIG Problem was that she didn't believe God's Promise for HERSELF, that Abraham's seed would come through HER. When we try to manipulate God's plan, it invariably leads to disaster. How much more so when we try and control God's dealings with Others? God's Promises are Immutable, and He deals with Each of us Individually.

Come and pray For The Peace of jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Agreeing with the prayers for the peace of Jerusalem.

Agreeing with the prayers for the repentance of our own nation.

Seeing that both will be accomplished if we look expectedly for the sure and certain returning of our Messiah.

18 And Abraham said unto God: ‘Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!’ 19 And God said: ‘Nay . . . 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But My covenant will I establish with Isaac. . . OH LORD, we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and for Your People Israel. That the eyes of the sons of Ishmael would be opened to the blessing YOU have given them through the promise to Abraham, yet they would understand the covenant given through Isaac which would bring about Salvation for their very souls…all resulting in a resounding song: TO GOD BE THE GLORY..Amen. And LORD, we pray also over the souls of Your People Israel, may they see that SALVATION IS OF THE LORD and of HIS CHRIST…not of themselves… Amen.
