Pray for Peace

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.  Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.  I will now say, Peace be within you.  Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good” (Psalm 122:6-9).  There is much excitement about the natural city of Jerusalem.  The word Jerusalem means City of Peace. God’s plan has always been for Jerusalem to be free of strife and blessed by peace, happiness, prosperity and health.  Psalm 122:6 is a prayer that all those who pray for this Holy City will experience God’s blessings in their lives.  As Christian believers, we know that there will one day be a New Jerusalem, known as Zion, God’s Holy Mountain.  This is where Jesus will establish His government when He returns to rule and reign for one thousand years.  Psalm 102:13 tells us, You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.  Now is the time to pray for Jerusalem and see the manifest blessings of God: peace, happiness, prosperity and health become reality in your life.
