The world is watching Jerusalem. Conflict rises, peace feels fragile, and believers everywhere are asking: How should we pray? Today’s episode of the Daily Christian Prayer Podcast, recorded in London, England, delivers a clear biblical answer rooted in Zechariah 2:5—“I myself will be a wall of fire around it, declares the Lord, and I will be its glory within”—and Matthew 5:44—“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
This five-minute devotional, led by Reverend Ben Cooper, moves beyond headlines and politics into urgent intercession for Jerusalem, Israel, and the Middle East. With bold faith, we call on God to surround Jerusalem with His fiery wall of protection while filling it with His glory. We lift up the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, churches, synagogues, missionaries, and pilgrims who walk daily in these holy places.
At the same time, we embrace Jesus’ radical command: pray for enemies. True peace in Israel and the Middle East will not come through politics alone—it requires spiritual breakthrough and reconciliation. In this prayer, we intercede for softened hearts in Israel and Gaza, for Arabs and Jews, for Christians and Muslims across the region. We plead for God’s love to transform enemies into peacemakers.
This prayer is also a mirror for our own lives. Just as Jerusalem needs God’s wall of fire, so do we. Just as reconciliation is needed in the Middle East, so is it needed in our homes, families, and workplaces. This devotional challenges listeners not only to pray globally but to apply these truths personally—praying for those who’ve hurt us and asking God to bring healing where division has reigned.
Wherever you are—whether in London, Jerusalem, or across the nations—join thousands of believers aligning with Scripture and lifting up urgent prayers for Israel’s protection, Jerusalem’s holy sites, and reconciliation in the Middle East.
