I have been reading an update on the elections to the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, and it look as if there is a further period of uncertainty to come and no clear indication of how a government will be formed. It reminded me of the following which I wrote a few years ago.
Peace in this place (Psalm 122; 5 – 9. 1 Timothy 2 v 4)
- Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
or whatever place you may call home;
Peace and security in that place,
for friends and relatives through God’s grace
2. In house or other, village or town,
I pray that peace in there will be known.
For God’s desire for us all is good,
an evidence of his Fatherhood.
3. We look around and struggle to see,
evidence of peace and equity.
Peace for our house, town, country, or globe,
can sometimes appear beyond all hope
4. What can we do to bring about peace?
Prayer, I believe, can help to release
mercy and power that God will give,
as prayers are matched by the way we live
5. Pray for all those in authority,
that we know peace and dignity
in lives that are full of godliness,
as we live for Christ and Him confess
