In this current war, Israel needs our prayers and help more than ever before. 
​​Don't just pray for Israel because you need a blessing; how selfish that would be. Jews are God's chosen people. By this God meant that it would be this race from which our Savior, Jesus, would be born. I believe God also meant that he had chosen Israel and her people to show forth his Glory, to show the world that God is real and that God is love. ​God loves the Jewish people and so should we.
When praying for Israel, specifically the Jews, pray for peace for the Jewish people and their families, pray for their protection -ask God to bless her military, their education system, their families and their home life, their workforce, to bless their food and markets. Pray that God would open their eyes of understanding to see their long sought after Messiah - Jesus Christ of Nazareth (pray for their salvation). Pray for their travel, their medical facilities, and never -ever -forget to pray for their elderly, many of which are holacaust survivors. ​Do these things as though you are doing them for the Lord; that's when you will be blessed.
