Standing together to bless the nation of Israel.
Why pray for Israel?
God asks of us to partner with Him.
ISAIAH 62 is a unique passage in the scriptures because it calls upon the people of God to give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem as “a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62:6-7).
Like Watchman on the walls of Jerusalem the people of God are to stand watch on behalf of Israel. This essentially means embracing regular prayer and intercession for Israel, for blessing, for protection against those that seek to harm her and for her redemption.
This call to prayer also means praying for the Arab nations in the region that they too would be blessed and delivered from the chaos that presently besets the region.
What is ISAIAH 62?
ISAIAH 62 is global prayer movement.
It was founded in 2012 by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem with the purpose to encourage prayer for Israel.
Meanwhile 131 countries pray the ISAIAH 62 Prayer on the first Wednesday of each month.
How ISAIAH 62 prayer works?
Pray with your church, friends, family or by yourself.
Simply subscribe to our month ISAIAH 62 Prayer requests via email. After you have signed up below, you can also go to our Resources section as well and download the Isaiah 62 prayer points on the first Tuesday of each month.
ISAIAH 62 PRAYER INITIATIVE
Monthly Prayer Letter for August 2025
“Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at
hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.” (Deuteronomy 32:35)
Dear Prayer Partners,
For nearly two years now, we have been praying for a swift and complete victory for Israel in this nation’s
seven-front battle against an encircling array of implacable enemies.
I have to admit it was disappointing at times to see the war prolonged for month after month, and I
pondered why the Lord did not grant Israel this swift total victory earlier. An even more probative question
is whether we were praying rightly – that is, in line with God’s will.
Looking back now, we can thank the Lord that He has allowed Israel time to defeat its most dangerous
enemies. The IDF has battered and sidelined Hizbullah in Lebanon. The Assad regime in Syria is gone, and
the opportunity may now exist for somewhat friendlier relations with the new rulers of Syria. Meantime,
Israel humiliated Iran in only twelve days of direct fighting and set back their nuclear and ballistic missile
programs by many years.
As for Hamas, it is significantly weakened to the point that its remaining forces in Gaza may need to fight a
civil war with other armed Palestinian clans to keep control of the coastal Strip.
Hamas managed to inflict painful losses on Israel in its surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7,
But keeping their plans so secret ended up working against them, as Hizbullah and Iran were not
prepared to immediately join the fight with full force, allowing Israel time to mobilise its reserves and
evacuate civilians away from its northern and southern borders. Further, the stubbornness and cruelty of
Hamas in refusing to return all the hostages over these many long months has also worked against them, as
it has given Israel the time needed to deal heavy blows upon its most dangerous enemies in succession.
Perhaps our most accurate prayer over the course of this conflict has been asking the Lord to give wisdom
and strategies to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders on how to defeat their
enemies. More details are coming out every day, but it is already clear that they indeed developed
incredible strategies to rout these foes in astounding ways. The pager operation in Lebanon! A drone factory
operated by Mossad inside Iran! Complete air dominance over Iran, and not one Israeli plane lost. These are
all legendary feats that could only have happened with help from above!
Watching Netanyahu meet once again with US President Donald Trump in Washington in early July, there is
a lesson for us here to always trust the timings of God. It is so much better that Trump is serving his second
term as president now, rather than four years ago, as he is well placed at this key moment to help Israel
finish the war and consolidate the victory by hopefully expanding the Abraham Accords.
Sometimes we must wait patiently on the Lord, but when the due time comes for His recompense, He
hastens the calamity upon His enemies (Deuteronomy 32:35). Surely, we can trust in the timings of God!
Blessings from Zion!

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL - THE NORTHERN FRONT
Thank the Lord that the ceasefire with Lebanon has held and that Hizbullah did not join in attacking Israel
during the recent war with Iran. Pray that Hizbullah will continue to lose military strength and political
influence in Lebanese affairs. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among Christians in Lebanon and the region.
Also pray that the new leadership in Syria will protect its Christian, Druze and Kurdish minorities, and decide
to live at peace with Israel. - THE SOUTHERN FRONT
Israel’s success in its short but intense war with Iran also renewed hope that a deal can be reached with
Hamas to secure the release of the remaining 50 hostages in Gaza, 20 of whom are living plus 30 bodies.
Please pray for every last Israeli taken hostage into Gaza to come home to their families. Pray that intense
pressure will come on Hamas, even from the Arab world, to surrender every last hostage and to leave Gaza.
Also pray that Israeli leaders make the right decisions in the talks over hostages and the future of Gaza. Pray
that any Palestinians in Gaza who want to voluntarily leave for another country can do so. Pray for strong
support for Israel on Gaza from the Trump administration and other foreign governments. Pray that the
current international efforts being led by France to recognise a Palestinian state will come to naught. Pray
that more nations will realise this would be a massive diplomatic mistake and oppose this move. - THE IRAN FRONT
After years of Iran’s open threats and relentless drive for nuclear weapons, Israel finally decided to directly
confront the radical clerical regime in Tehran. The result was an intense 12-day battle pitting Israel’s far
superior air power against Iran’s multiple barrages of ballistic missiles. We are grateful to the Lord that
Israel, with American help, was able to inflict severe damage on Iran’s renegade nuclear program and its
ballistic missile factories and stockpiles, as well as to eliminate dozens of top Iranian military commanders
and nuclear experts. But the Israeli home front also suffered some 40 direct impacts from the daily waves of
large missiles with one-ton warheads. This left 31 dead, plus 3,000 wounded, and over 16,000 homeless
due to the extensive destruction in urban areas. Please pray for the swift recovery of the injured and that
housing will quickly be found for those who lost their homes. Pray that Iran’s nuclear program has been
damaged beyond repair, and that its quest for atomic weapons will always come to naught. Pray that Iran
will not be able to harm Israel or Jews abroad through terrorist operations. Pray for the Iranian people to
successfully arise and replace the cruel ayatollahs with more peaceful, caring democratic leaders. - THE HOME FRONT
Please pray that Israel will be able to secure a resounding victory over its enemies, recover and rebuild
quickly, and actively pursue peace with its other Arab neighbours. Pray that more Israelis will be drawn to
faith in God and His Messiah amid the current challenges. Pray for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit in Israel.
