New US ambassador David Friedman arrives in Israel, prays for Trump

It would be hard to overstate the importance of the next seven days. President Trump’s first overseas trip will see him Saturday and Sunday in Saudi Arabia with leaders of 50 Muslim nations pressuring him for their agenda. He then visits Israel on Monday and Tuesday where he will pray at the Western Wall, visit Yad VaShem, the Holocaust Memorial, and meet with PM Netanyahu. He will also be with PA President Abbas in Bethlehem. From there he goes to Rome to meet the Pope and on to EU HQ in Belgium for a NATO meeting. He ends the trip in Sicily for economic talks with the G7.

Billed as a visit to the seats of the “world’s three great religions,” we have serious prayer concerns. We hope he will announce finally moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel’s eternal capital. However, there are ominous signs that he may instead resurrect the failed two-state peace plan. Pray that he will hear from Yehovah God in Heaven and show the courage to stand with Israel against all odds, regardless of threats.

White House reports suggest he may state that the terrorists are “perverting Islam’s peaceful religion.” There is great opportunity for him to be deceived here. We must pray for the Holy Spirit of truth to speak directly to him.

Today as I write this, President Trump has a White House meeting with Turkey President Erdogan, who I am sure will give our President an earful of anti-Israel propaganda. Yet, the everlasting eternal God of Israel will triumph!

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—

​​From whence comes my help?

​​My help comes from Yehovah,

​​Who made heaven and earth.

​

​​He will not allow your foot to be moved;

​​He who keeps you will not slumber.

​​Behold, He who keeps Israel

​​Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

​

Yehovah is your keeper;

Yehovah is your shade at your right hand.

​​The sun shall not strike you by day,

​​Nor the moon by night.

​

Yehovah shall preserve you from all evil;

​​He shall preserve your soul.

Yehovah shall preserve your going out and your coming in

​​From this time forth, and even forevermore. Psalm 121

We pray for mercy to “He Who keeps Israel!”
