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.

ISAIAH 62 PRAYER INITIATIVE
Monthly Prayer Letter for June 2025
“And the Lord said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on these tablets the
words that were on the first tablets which you broke. So be ready in the morning, and come up in the
morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain.” (Exodus 34:1-2)
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
With Shavuot (Pentecost) just a few days away, my thoughts are drawn to the drama that unfolded on
Mount Sinai where God made a covenant with the people of Israel and gave them His law so that they
would walk in His ways, though they quickly fell away.
How fortunate for them and for us, that as Moses called on the name of the Lord, the first thing that the
LORD wanted him (and us) to know is that: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow
to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness and truth, who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives
iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished….” (Exodus 34:6-7a
NASB1995)
The time spent in God’s presence, getting to know Him and His ways, changed and transformed Moses. The
Scriptures say that Moses was the only one who the Lord spoke with “openly, and not in dark sayings. And
he beholds the form of the LORD.” (Numbers 12:8 NASB1995) This encounter with God caused Moses’ face
to shine so much that he had to put a veil on. This idea of transformation in God’s presence and of His being
with us always is a great encouragement.
Recently I was inspired by the testimony of Omer Shem Tov. Captured at the Nova festival, Omer endured
captivity in Gaza for 505 days. Asked how he passed the time there, he shared “I would dream of home,
family and friends. You try to flee into those dreams. … It was a difficult time. A depressing time, but there
was never a time when the light in me was totally extinguished. Throughout my captivity my faith was
strengthened. I would just sit and talk with God.”
Asked what he would talk with God about, Omer said, “You know how there is this thing that everyone asks
things from Him, but they never ask how He is? So, I would always begin with, ‘How are you, Abba? How are
you feeling?’ And then, the first thing that I would do is be grateful. Thank Him that I was still alive. Thank
Him that I had breath in my lungs. Thank Him for the food that I had. Thank Him for everything that I did
have.” And then what after that? Omer continued, “Only then, would I begin to ask Him for things. … That
He would put me on the right path. That He would help me to return home in peace. That He would direct
me and strengthen me…that He would watch over my family.”
What a beautiful testimony of God’s strengthening presence. We are transformed by His light and life as we
spend time with Him. Though our face may not shine as it did with Moses, those moments with Him cause
His light in us to shine brighter. God did a miracle for Omer and brought him home. May this testimony of
faith and resilience be an inspiration for all as we celebrate this Shavuot/Pentecost.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
- THE GAZA FRONT
We must thank God that nearly 200 Israeli hostages held in Gaza have returned over the past 19 months of
this long conflict with Hamas. The latest was Edan Alexander, who was freed just as US President Donald
Trump visited the region. But there are still 58 hostages remaining in Gaza, including up to 23 presumed
alive and 35 bodies. The IDF has launched a major offensive to try to defeat Hamas and return the last
hostages, while also depriving Hamas of any way to control the food supply in Gaza. Please pray these
efforts will be successful: a) Hamas vanquished from Gaza, and b) the remaining hostages will finally come
home. Also pray that civilians in Gaza can collect food and other aid without interference by Hamas. Pray as
well that Israeli leaders will make the right decisions concerning any future ceasefires, and who will rule
Gaza going forward. Pray that any Palestinians in Gaza who want to voluntarily leave for another country
will be allowed to do so. Pray that the surrounding Arab leaders will reject any future for Hamas in Gaza. - THE HOME FRONT
Israelis are paying a high price to win this war. For instance, many IDF reserve soldiers have lost their jobs or
businesses due to their many months of serving combat duty. Pray for these brave soldiers and their
families as they seek to recover. Recent studies also indicate that nearly half of Israelis are suffering from
traumatic stress due to the war, and the waiting list for appointments to receive psychological care is at
least six months long. Please pray that there will be more trauma care services available for those who
urgently need it. And pray for Israeli people to look to the Lord for the healing balm of Gilead in their lives. - THE INTERNATIONAL FRONT
France, Saudi Arabia and several other nations are currently spearheading an effort to unilaterally force
upon Israel the establishment of a Palestinian state. They will convene an international conference at the
United Nations in mid-June to take “irreversible steps and concrete decisions” concerning the imposition of
a two-state solution. Please pray for these efforts to utterly fail, as it could well bring divine judgment on
the nations, according to the warning of Joel chapter 2 and other key biblical passages. Pray that many
nations stand alongside Israel is resisting this dangerous and unwise movement, which would be an unjust
reward for Palestinian terrorism. Pray that more Arab and Muslim nations will normalise relations with
Israel under the Abraham Accords without first requiring the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, several countries are considering to open national embassies in Jerusalem, including Fiji, Czech
Republic, Malawi and Ecuador. Please pray that these nations and many more will open embassies in
Jerusalem to honour the city and thereby align with God’s prophetic and redemptive purposes over Israel. - THE IRAN FRONT
The Trump administration has now held at least five rounds of talks with Iran over its renegade nuclear
program. Some reports say progress has been made in the negotiations, but the US and Iran both insist
wide gaps still remain, especially on whether Iran can continue to enrich its own uranium. Pray that Israel
and the US will prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear weapons to threaten Israel. Pray that these
negotiations will lead to the complete dismantling of Iran’s uranium enrichment program and its ballistic
missile production. Pray that Iran will not be able to harm Israel or Jewish communities abroad. Pray that
the radical Islamic regime in Tehran will be driven from power by its own people.
