Israel at War: How to Pray and How to Help

Published on by nickcady3 Comments

Recently, in light of the October 7 attack in Israel by Hamas terrorists, many people have been curious how to think about these events from a biblical perspective, as well as how they should pray, and if there are any ways that they can help.

How to Pray

These are just a few of the many ways to pray:

  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6)
  • Pray for the victims of the terrorist attacks, the injured, those taken hostage, the families of those killed or held captive, and those who live in fear of attack or injury
  • Pray for the innocent civilians who are being impacted by the conflict
  • Pray for justice to prevail
  • Pray for the safety of Jewish people around the world who are being targeted, as anti-semitism has seen a sharp rise
  • Pray for the many Christians in the West Bank and the estimated 800-1000 Christians living in Gaza

How to Think About These Events from a Biblical Perspective

I shared my views on this in this recent video:

How to Help

For those looking for a good Christian ministry to support in Israel, Netivah Ministries was recommended by a pastor friend who says that he knows this group personally and recommends the good work they are doing. Here is a recent update and video from them:

Dear Friends!
It has been a month since the horrific Saturday on the 7 of October, and many of you have been asking how we are coping, praying for our safety and contributing to the work we are doing here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We are blessed, encouraged and strengthened by all your support.
We also know that during these days the most important thing is to be a light and a voice of hope in these dark times, encouraging our loved ones that are on the front line, those that have been displaced, and sharing the hope to our people that are hurting and confused.
Four of our NETIVAH team have been called up and the rest of us are working to be effective and supportive for the Body of Yeshua, for the displaced families and for our young men and women in the service.

Thank you for your Prayers, Concern and Support during these days.
Yours in Yeshua,
