Heavenly Father, We come before You today to lift the nation of Israel before Your Throne, asking for Your divine hand of unity upon this people You have called and chosen. Your Word tells us, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”,1 and we desire to see this unity established among Your people in Israel. We pray for a spirit of oneness to rest upon all of Israel, as it did in the days when “Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree”.2 May Israel dwell in peace and security, united in purpose and in heart.
Father, we ask that the people of Israel come together as one, as they did when “all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron”,3 declaring their oneness and loyalty to You. We pray that Israel’s leaders may have a single mind and a whole heart in their pursuit of Your will, just as “all the people of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, and the congregation assembled as one man to the Lord”.4
Lord, we know that unity brings strength, and we ask that Your Spirit unite the hearts of all who are called to Israel’s defense and prosperity. We pray that Your people will gather together in spirit and truth as they did when “all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate”.5 Let Israel’s strength in unity be a testimony of Your power.
We also pray for the restoration of Israel’s full unity, as You will “raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel”.6 May peace reign in their hearts and may Your will be done in Israel’s unity, today and forever, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
