Morning by Morning, June 17, 2025 - “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” and All the World
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my eyes and open up my heart to embrace You now, to abide in You now, and in every moment of my day (John 15:4). ...
Israel and Iran are at war. And all the world is worried, if not in fear, of what may come.
Suspicions abound that the Iranian regime, who has pledged to completely annihilate Israel as a people and a nation from the face of the world, either has or is near to having the nuclear weapon it covets. We don’t know the truth. But You do. We don’t know what’s hidden away deep in a mountain securing a nuclear facility. But You do.
We shudder to think of the incomprehensible consequences of what would happen if just one of the ballistic missiles sent to rain down on the Israeli civilians were to get through their air defenses, carrying a nuclear warhead. May that day never come.
As the drama unfolds, in this current crisis and in any crisis to come between now and the day of Your return, I join with those from around our world who believe in Your Word and obey Your Command by the leading of Your Spirit:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they be secure who love you. Peace be within your walls and security within your towers” (Psalm 122:6-7).
Yes, Lord. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And at the same time, we pray for the peace of Tehran and Tel Aviv, for the peace of New York and Northern Ireland, for Beijing and Budapest, for Moscow and Madrid, for all the people of our world in every city and nation. May we all seek You as our Security with Your Word as our Authority and Your Spirit as our Guide.
Expose terror in every form. Uproot and remove evil in every place.
Reveal. Remove. Replace.
These are not merely political issues; they are primarily righteousness issues. And we can only know where to stand in righteousness in our words and actions and even in our prayers as we seek the One who is Righteous and embrace the authority and guidance of the Word and the Spirit of the One who leads us “in the paths of righteousness” (Psalm 23:3).
As You said long ago, You continue to say to all who have ears to hear:
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
With Your peace in our hearts we can pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the peace of our world. And with Your peace in our hearts, we can look forward to the day that Your Word is fulfilled:
“The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15)
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
