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 March 2026
“Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s
command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower
them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.” (Esther 9:1)
Dear Prayer Partners,
As we enter the biblical month of Adar, we are reminded that God often completes what seemed delayed
and restores what felt lost. Adar, the twelfth month of the biblical calendar, falls at the end of the year, just
before the new beginning of Nisan. Ezra 6:15 tells us, “Now the temple was finished on the third day of the
month of Adar.” The Temple, the dwelling place of God among His people, was completed in the final
month, reminding us that fulfillment often comes just before a new season begins. Adar also appears in the
story of Esther, where the enemy cast lots to determine a day for Israel’s destruction. That lot fell in Adar.
Yet what was decreed for annihilation became a divine reversal. The same month marked by threat became
an amazing testimony of deliverance, showing us that God can overturn what the enemy has planned and
transform it into victory.
Scripture shows us that completion rarely appears suddenly. Breakthrough has a hidden history in prayer
and fasting. The Temple completion in Adar was the visible outcome of invisible intercession. To understand
this pattern, we must look back to Daniel. In Daniel 9, we see a man who discerned God’s timing through
the Scriptures. He understood from Jeremiah that the exile was nearing its end. Yet instead of assuming
restoration would happen automatically, Daniel set himself to prayer and fasting. He prayed for covenant
fulfillment, humbling himself in repentance and declaring the faithfulness of God. He prayed not to inform
God, but to align with Him. Heaven responded to Daniel’s intercession with prophetic revelation and angelic
movement. His prayer helped usher in the restoration that would eventually lead to the rebuilding and
completion of the Temple. What was birthed in exile became visible back in the Land a few decades later.
Fasting was central to Daniel’s posture before God. Biblical fasting is positioning the heart in surrender.
Isaiah 58 shows when fasting aligns with God’s heart, strongholds are broken, light breaks forth, and
restoration follows. God promises guidance and rebuilding when His people humble themselves before
Him. As we reflect on Adar, we are invited into that same partnership. This month is not only a reminder of
past reversals. It is a call to present intercession. What promises has God spoken that still need to be carried
in prayer?
This Adar, like in the stories of Daniel and Esther, the nation of Persia (modern-day Iran) has set itself against
the people and nation of Israel. And just like Daniel and Esther, we believe the Lord is inviting us to stand in
prayer and fasting for breakthrough in this region. This month until March 19, we are calling a Fast on every
Friday to see strongholds broken, particularly the grip of Islam on the region. Let us take our stand together
as watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem.
With gratitude for your partnership in prayer.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS
Pray for a breaking of the influence and grip of the Islamic regime centered in Iran over the Middle East.
“Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might. I will
set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord… ‘But it shall
come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 49:35,
38-39)
Pray for believers in Iran, asking for protection, perseverance, boldness, and spiritual growth amid
persecution. “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they
may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done
through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” (Acts 4:29-30)
Pray for the Body of Christ in Israel, especially as many are engaging in a 40-day fast leading into
Passover, that it would be a time of repentance, unity and spiritual renewal. “Is not this the fast that I
have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6)
Pray that the Lord would protect the people of Israel from acts of violence, particularly as Muslims in
the region observe the month of Ramadan, a season that has historically seen increased tensions.
“Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” (Psalm 121:4)
Pray that as Muslims fast and pray during Ramadan, the one true God of the Bible would reveal Himself
to them through dreams, visions and divine encounters, and that many would forsake worship of Allah
and find salvation in Him. “I was sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did
not seek Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ To a nation that was not called by My name.” (Isaiah 65:1)
PRAYER FOR THE ICEJ
Please pray for the leaders and staff of the ICEJ ministries, for protection, strength and grace to
continue until we see the fullness of breakthrough. “But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you
and guard you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
Pray for the plans for the upcoming Jerusalem Summit that the ICEJ will be hosting from June 9 to 11,
asking the Lord to bring the right people and that His purposes would be fully accomplished during this
time. “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
