Father God, I come before You, asking You to transform the hearts of those who harbor hatred toward the Jewish people. You promised to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh,1 so I pray that You soften those hearts and open them to Your love and truth. Lord Jesus, You taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.2 I lift up those blinded by hatred, asking that You renew their minds and transform their hearts.3 Let them experience the peace only Your Spirit can bring, moving them from hostility to reconciliation.
Father, instill compassion, kindness, humility, and patience in all people.4
May they bear with one another in love, reflecting the forgiveness You’ve freely given to us.5 Replace hatred with love, bitterness with grace, and division with unity.
Your Word says when a person’s ways please You, You make even their enemies live at peace with them.6 I pray that the lives of Your people, Israel and all believers, will shine brightly, showing the world Your love and compassion. May those who once opposed Israel be drawn toward peace and reconciliation. I pray for the salvation of those who oppose Israel,7 that they may come to know You and be transformed by Your love. Like Stephen, who prayed for his persecutors, I ask that You not hold this sin against those whose hearts are changed.8 May Your Spirit draw them to repentance and healing. Father, let Your knowledge fill the Earth, replacing hatred and division with peace and understanding.9 Write Your laws on the hearts of those who need Your love and mercy.10 May they recognize that we are called to love one another as Christ loved us.11
Thank You for hearing my prayer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
