I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.

Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord; do not let their plans succeed.

(Psalms 140:6-8)

Father God, we (I) pray for Israel.

Father God!

On December 4, Israel marked the 59th day of the Hamas war, and after a ceasefire, the battle resumed with Hamas firing rockets toward Israel. After almost completing the operation in northern Gaza, we announced the evacuation of Gaza residents and began airstrikes in southern Khan Yunis for the offensive in south Gaza. Israel's military said ground forces engaged in fierce battles with Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip in four days of fighting, with the air force attacking rocket launchers, weapons depots, and other sites belonging to the terrorist group. The Israeli military announced that 401 soldiers had been killed since the start of the fighting on October 7, of which 75 were killed in ground attacks in the Gaza Strip, and the majority were killed in battles with Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on October 7. On the evening of the 3rd, one person was injured by shrapnel from a Hamas rocket attack on central Israel, and eight people were wounded in a Hezbollah attack. Currently, 106 of the hostages have been released, and 137 hostages remain, including 9 minors, including 10-month-old Kfir Vivas, and 10 older adults over 75 years old.

# Heavenly Father, we declare that war belongs to the Lord, and we pray for Israel in battle with the words of Psalm 121. 1I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

# Heavenly Father, please comfort the families who lost their lives due to the atrocities of Hamas terrorists, the families of soldiers who lost their lives in war, and the families of the 137 people kidnapped hostage. In particular, with the extension of the ceasefire, please protect the lives of all 139 people who were kidnapped and remain so they can return safely. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. (Isaiah 41:14-15) May we become a powerful army of Israel with God and win every battle, restore the land that the Lord promised and gave us, and make it a land of peace that the Lord gives us. Please let the day come quickly when your people can live a safe and peaceful life.

# Heavenly Father, Hezbollah's attacks on the Lebanese border are continuing with missile attacks against Israel, and the Israeli military is fighting Hezbollah in response. Please rule over Iran's evil tricks and plots that help Hamas and Jihad in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border attack Israel by providing them with weapons. Israeli residents who are close to attacks by Gaza in the south and Hezbollah in the north are fleeing. Please have mercy on those who have left the comfort of their families, and give your protection, comfort, and peace to our young children so that they do not suffer the trauma of war.

Father God!

The season of Hanukkah (Feast of Lights) begins on the evening of December 7th and continues until the 14th, with candles lit one day at a time. In the 2nd century BC, the Seleucid dynasty occupied Judah and forced the Jews to place pagan gods in the holy temple and worship them, and brutally massacred the Jews who refused. At this time, Modiin’s Maccabee brothers and the Jews resisted this and won the revolution, restored the Jerusalem temple, removed the idols, purified it, and dedicated it. It took eight days to prepare the holy oil used in the candlesticks of the temple, but there was only one day's worth of oil left in the temple. To the Jews who dedicated themselves to lighting a fire with the remaining oil for just one day, God performed a miracle and kept the candlestick burning for eight days while preparing the holy oil. In gratitude and commemoration of this, the Hanukkah Feast of Light began, and Jesus, who came as the light of the world in John 10:22, also observed the Hanukkah Feast (the Feast of Wed) in Jerusalem and testified that he is one with his Father.

Heavenly Father, the exact date of Yeshua's birth is unknown, but we proclaim during this Hanukkah season that Yeshua, the Messiah, came to this earth as the light of life. May the Holy Spirit work so that the light of the life of Yeshua, who came as light, shines in Jerusalem and the entire land of Israel every day when each Hanukkah candle is lit. To prepare Jerusalem for the coming Messiah Yeshua, “I will not be silent for Zion, nor will I rest for Jerusalem, so that her righteousness may shine like a light and her salvation like a torch” (Isaiah 62:1) We praise Jehovah God, who says this and continues to work for the glory of Jerusalem. Thank you for making Jerusalem the beautiful crown of the Lord, the crown of God’s hand. We praise the Lord who will build Jerusalem and receive praise from the world.

 “Heavenly Father, we thank you for calling all of us, Gentiles, as intercessors and servants of God’s great and precious work. We pray with the mission of a watchman on the perfect wall. Give us peace in Jerusalem, Lord God, establish Jerusalem and be praised. May the Jews and all the tribes of Israel scattered throughout the nations who must return to their homeland return to the Promised Land. Please work so Aliyah can be fulfilled even among the believing Jews by changing the law of return. Give us the power to fully fulfill the precious mission of praying and serving each of us until the word of God is fulfilled. May I always live a life of faith filled with the Holy Spirit. Please take care of our health.”

In the name of Yeshua Messiah, I (we) pray for Israel.

Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.

All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord;

they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds;

you alone are God. 

(Psalms 86:8-10)

Father God, I (we) pray for the nation.

Father God!

It is estimated that up to 500,000 people have left Syria since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011. Many of those who have left are young people and Syrian Christian families, and the future of Christianity in Syria is also bleak. In an interview with Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Archbishop Jacques Mourad of Homs, Syria, said, "Under Syrian law, young Christian women are forced to marry Muslims and convert due to a lack of men, so they cannot protect their children." “We are seeing families leaving Syria to ensure a better life.” “The free-fall education system in which teachers receive 15 to 17 pounds (about 25,000 to 28,000 won) per month is also a problem,” he said. “Repressive sanctions against Syria are causing social problems such as extreme poverty and corruption.” “It is causing this.” ACN provides financial support to the Archdiocese of Homs and plans to deliver more than 3,000 gifts to children and people with disabilities this Christmas.

Heavenly Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters in faith in Syria who are suffering persecution in poverty and poverty, as it is challenging to maintain their faith under Syrian Sharia law after the civil war in Syria. It is challenging to keep the faith of our children in a land where there is no hope for tomorrow's life, so we have no choice but to leave that land. In addition, in the reality of Syria, where there is no future due to the corrupt Muslim government, young Syrians are also choosing to escape extreme poverty and become refugees. We pray that the young people of Syria will see false religion and politics in the world and come before Yeshua, who is actual truth and freedom. “I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). We pray that we will meet Yeshua, the Messiah, who said this: repent, be saved, receive eternal new life, and become free people in the kingdom of God. Please shine the light of the Lord's life and allow salvation to occur, protect the families and children of faith in Syria, and help us, the Holy Spirit, to win with bold faith.

Heavenly Father, please rule especially over the Syrian Assad government, which is joining hands with the evil government of Iran to attack Israel and does not care for its people. The land and people of Syria were prophesied. “In that day, there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians will go to Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. On that day Israel will be blessed with Egypt and Assyria in the world. “For the LORD Almighty will bless him, saying, ‘Blessed is Egypt, my people, Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel, my inheritance!’” (Isaiah 19:23-25) We pray that the work of the Holy Spirit will take place to prepare these words to come true. Please help the children of faith in the land of Syria to have hope and bold victory through the Word of God. Please, Holy Spirit, guide us to fully live a life of faith, watching and praying, longing for the word of the Lord to come true quickly for our Christian brothers and sisters in Syria who are in difficult situations.

Father God!

On November 30, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) opened in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Sultan Al Jaber of the UAE, the chair of COP28, acknowledged the responsibility of developed countries and the need for compensation for the climate disaster suffered by developing countries at COP27, which was held in Egypt last November. They said the 'Climate Loss and Damage Fund,' which will raise funds, has been officially launched. On December 2, the opinion was declared at this general meeting that to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality (net zero), instead of reducing the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power generation should be increased to three times the current level by 2050. This declaration was signed by over 20 countries, including Korea (USA, Japan, UK, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, and United Arab Emirates (UAE). ), Ghana, etc.) Signed. On the 1st, UN Secretary-General António Guterres told delegates from each country attending the General Assembly, "The science is clear. Limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees is possible only when we stop burning fossil fuels." He emphasized that fossil fuels should be reduced step by step by setting a precise period.

Heavenly Father, in 2023, as we continue to hear news of various disasters caused by climate change worldwide, 28 countries are gathering to hold a meeting to prevent future disasters. In particular, we are establishing a plan to raise funds and curb temperature rises to compensate for the many disasters that developing countries experience due to rising global temperatures caused by fuel use in developed countries. According to the word of the Lord, these disasters will occur in the last days. “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth, the nations will be troubled and troubled because of the raging of the sea and waves. People will faint for fear of what is coming in the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” (Luke 21: 25,26) We realize that all of this announces that the time of the Lord's coming is near, as He said. Please help all souls on this earth come to know God and come to Him through these disasters. Let more people realize the love of God who loved the world and sent His only begotten son, Yeshua, and come to the cross of Yeshua, the Lord of life, and gain eternal life. May all who have breath realize and know that only the Lord, who governs and governs all things in the universe, is the true God and Almighty. Let us praise only the greatness of the perfect Lord. Please help us to come to our senses, stay awake and sober, and praise the greatness of the Lord who governs and reigns over all things in the universe.

We (I) prayed for the nations in the name of Yeshua Messiah. Amen. 

Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent.  

(Deuteronomy 16:19)

Father God, I (we) pray for the US.

Father God!

Last November, the Virginia Board of Education approved a commonsense policy that defers to biological sex and opposes transgender ideology. The Hanover County Board of Education states that unless a gender-confusing student and their parents submit a written request, a student may be admitted to school only by the gender recorded in official records. The amendment also prohibits school districts from coercing school employees or students in a way that violates their constitutionally protected rights. It also “directs teachers to withhold sensitive information about students, including information related to gender, from students’ parents.” The stipulation was that this provision would only apply “if the child is at imminent risk of suicide in connection with abuse or neglect by a parent.” The revised policy stipulates that students participate only in sports and other extracurricular activities that correspond to their gender and that extracurricular activities using accommodations also follow their ‘biological’ gender.

Heavenly Father, many state boards of education currently have provisions that ‘mandate students’ parents to withhold information related to their students’ gender identity,’ preventing parents from being involved in the process for their children’s gender identity and transgender status. At times like these, the young families of the next generation must wake up in faith and protect the souls of their children. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexually promiscuous, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. They will not inherit the kingdom of God. “So were some of you like this: but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). As these words say, we are thankful that the church and the parents of the saints are aware of the unrighteous things that their children see and experience at school and become more alert and pray so that they can be washed and sanctified in the Holy Spirit. Please bless parents of faith who continue to speak out for biblical policies despite several lawsuits in recent years from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which advocates for transgender and gender identity minorities. Please give us the wisdom to properly raise our children with the Word according to the holiness of our Heavenly Father.

Father God!

Last month, election fraud was revealed in three major cities in the northeastern United States: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. A Connecticut judge overturned the results of the Bridgeport mayoral primary on Nov. 1, calling election fraud shocking after video evidence showed the vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee stuffing handfuls of ballots into a drop box outside city hall. On October 25, in Paterson, New Jersey, incumbent City Council President Alex Mendez was accused of personally collecting large quantities of mail-in ballots in his district, destroying them that did not favor him, and then replacing them with ballots. On November 2, in Springfield, Massachusetts, mayoral candidate Justin Hurst was arrested by city election officials on charges that he took out what appeared to be large bundles of cash and paid individuals to buy votes during early voting.

Heavenly Father, we believe that what the mainstream media and many people claimed was a conspiracy theory about election fraud was revealed as a fraudulent election for the sake of fair elections to be held in the future. “The wicked take a bribe from a man’s hand, and pervert justice” (Proverbs 17:23) “You shall not steal, deceive, nor lie to one another” (Leviticus 19:11). Like these words, please let the people's decisions be honest and be revealed, and let people stop bending their judgment. Let past elections' fraud be revealed, and fraud and illegality end in future elections. To this end, please ensure that voting security is maintained and that members of the National Assembly become leaders who hold elections based on the people's will, not for the benefit of their political parties. “He who tells lies will not dwell in my house, and he who speaks lies will not stand before me.” (Psalm 101:7) Let these words come true. Please ensure that mail-in voting and ballot drop-off boxes are protected and used honestly. Please allow honest elections so that those whom God wants to establish can be established.

Father God!

We pray for the 2024 US presidential election. Please help us rise as more faithful intercessors for next year's elections and help America return to its holy path. To this end, please prevent all election fraud so we can raise leaders God approves. Please help the churches and believers in the United States pray wholly in faith so that America can recover after next year's election. Please help America use its good influence to support Israel and to bring about more harvests to all nations. Let America stand upright before the Lord and become a nation that serves God and positively influences other nations. “I looked for someone in it to build a wall for the land and to stand in the breach so that I would not destroy it, but I did not find one” (Ezekiel 22:30) As you say, please raise churches and intercessors who will stand in the place where the castle has collapsed and protect this land. May righteousness and justice be achieved in all past and upcoming elections, truthful and accurate gratitude be achieved, and the church and intercessors pray without ceasing!

We (I) prayed for America in the name of Yeshua, Messiah. Amen. 

But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Thessalonian 5:8-9)

Father God, I (we) pray for South Korea.

Father God!

The 'Resolution urging China to stop forcibly repatriating North Korean defectors to North Korea,' which had failed to pass in the National Assembly bill subcommittee on November 22 due to the Democratic Party of Korea's 'selective human rights actions,' was passed again in the National Assembly on the 30th. Representative Ji Seong-ho (People Power Party), a former North Korean defector who held a press conference on the 27th to call for passage again due to the resolution's failure to pass, is a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), a Chinese parliamentary coalition comprised of about 240 lawmakers from 28 liberal countries. , iPac)’ is the Korean Chairman. He attended the iPAC summit held in Prague, Czech Republic, on August 31st and raised the issue of stopping the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors. At a meeting with lawmakers from various countries in Taiwan from the 3rd to the 6th, he said, “I will continue to work to awaken international public opinion regarding the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors,” and expressed my sincere gratitude and glory to the Lord. In addition, Lee Yong-hee, representative of the Bareun Education Professors' Association (Professor at Gachon University), requested that we continue to pray so that the North Korean human rights resolution, which includes provisions prohibiting forcible repatriation to North Korea, will not only be passed by the UN General Assembly on December 12 but will also raise public opinion around the world.

Heavenly Father, we especially pray for the human rights of North Korean defectors in China. The Chinese government does not recognize the status of UN refugees. It is forcibly repatriating them to North Korea by the UN Refugee Convention and the UN Protocol on the Status of Refugees. Amid this situation, I am grateful that the National Assembly has re-adopted the ‘Resolution Calling for a Stop to Forced Repatriation of North Korean Defectors.’ Please rule over the Chinese Communist Party, which does not recognize North Korean defectors as refugees and is forcibly repatriating them to North Korea. “God is our God of salvation; we have escaped from death because of the Lord God. God will strike and crush the head of his enemies, the crown of the head of him who walks in sin.” (Psalm 68:20,21) Please work to save North Korean defectors from death and allow them to be recognized as refugees and come to the free Republic of Korea. Please have mercy on our people who are suffering and being trampled in North Korea, and grant them a day of liberation when the Three Eightfold Parasol opens soon. Please give us the wisdom and courage to make sound conscience, discernment, and decisions so that the government of the Republic of Korea, the National Assembly, and the courts can make good politics, decisions, and judgments based on the Constitution. Please help us become the Republic of Korea where the deep-rooted corruption of wrongful wealth accumulation and abuse of power is rooted out, and a good conscience and social justice are established. Let the leaders of the Republic of Korea live righteous lives and become people who love and serve their country and people. In particular, please help God's children and the church who believe in Heavenly Father serve the Lord in His peace and live the life of witnesses of the gospel so that all citizens can come before the Lord.

Father God!

Father God, please give wisdom to the government of President Yoon Suk Yeol as North Korea continues to check against North Korea, which continues to violate the agreement on the implementation of the military sector between the two Koreas. Please be a powerful South Korean government that leads North Korea and helps peace and peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula take place in the power of the Lord. Please pour the Holy Spirit on the church and the saints to pray for the churches of the Republic of Korea, who are praying and waiting for the unification of the gospel to fill the vessels of the remaining unification prayers. "Blessed are those who use the God of Jacob as their help and put their wishes on the Lord's God." (Psalm 146:5). According to these words, let the Lord God, the God of Jacob, be the people who help and hope for him. Please make God's history so it can be unified by the gospel and become a Christian nation and an advanced Korea. Please listen to the prayer of tears of the North Korean believers and let the day of worship the Lord as soon as possible. Let the gospel unite and give the day when the fallen churches of North Korea are built, and worship comes to life. Let the Korean church awaken the world and let the church and its saints prepare and welcome the Lord's way back with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

In the name of Yeshua Messiah, I (we) prayed for South Korea. Amen.
