Dear VIP (Very Important Pray-er),
Our God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) Thank you for your diligence in praying for Israel. We are in a time in history where your prayers can change the course of events according to God‘s will! Don’t be weary in praying for Israel because in due time you will see great results.
Here are three important updates and their prayer points:
United States still Seeking an Agreement with Iran
As of this writing, President Trump has halted military operations in Iran. He has done this in hopes of getting an agreement with Iran to open the Straits of Hormuz and STOP their nuclear bomb program. Although we hope that an agreement can be reached, each time the US gets close to an agreement, Iran breaks the cease-fire by firing missiles on ships in the Straits or targeting our soldiers.
Prayer Points for Negotiations with Iran
- Pray all darkness of Iran’s deception will be brought clearly into the light. Job 12:22
- Pray our negotiating team will not be deceived or make concessions that are harmful to the United States or Israel. Ephesians 5:6
- Pray that the wicked plans of the Prince of Persia who rules in the heavenlies over Iran will be hindered and exposed.
Daniel 10
- PRAY PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL NOT BE DECEIVED OR WRONGLY INFLUENCED IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS. Romans 12:2
Update on Gaza
In January of this year, President Trump established the Board of Peace, made up of representatives from twenty-six countries. The purpose of this board is to establish peace in Gaza, oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, and provide a hopeful future for the citizens of Gaza. The obvious obstacle to this is Hamas. On July 30th, President Trump announced Hamas had agreed to disarm. Hamas has proven to be less than honest, and certainly their word is not reliable. It is also noted that Israel is not involved in any of the negotiations or even in an advisory position. Hamas agrees to this disarmament if Israel leaves Gaza. Israel has made it clear to the United States their concerns with this agreement. However, the United States is pressuring Israel to comply.
Prayer Points
- Pray Hamas’ true intentions are exposed. Luke 8:17
- Pray United States will not pressure Israel into anything that is not in their best interest.
- Pray for the protection of the IDF soldiers who are serving in the Gaza Strip. Psalm 91:4
- Pray that the Board of Peace cannot enact any agreements or put forth any policies that would harm Israel. Isaiah 54:17
- Pray for Israel’s intelligence agencies to uncover and stop all plots and plans that would harm Israelis. Psalm 121
Israel’s Historic Agreement with Lebanon
On June 26, 2026, Israel and Lebanon signed an historic agreement in Washington, D.C. This US-brokered agreement is aimed at ending their state of war and tying a phased Israeli military withdrawal to the disarmament of Hezbollah. Because Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran, it will be difficult to believe what they say. The government in Beirut would prefer Hezbollah be disarmed but lacks the willpower to do the associated work; Israel will have to do the job.
Prayer points
- Pray Hezbollah will be disarmed.
- Praying for a true peace on Israel’s Northern border.
- Pray for the governments of Israel and Lebanon to have a good working relationship.
US Midterm Elections
November 3rd is our midterm elections. We will elect members of the House of Representatives and members of the Senate. It is very important that we elect members who will stand with our ally, Israel. God makes it clear in Genesis 12:3 He will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel. PLEASE PRAY DAILY FOR THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE!
Please join Daughters for Zion on Thursday, August 6th, for a day of fasting and seeking the Lord for our midterm elections. We are seeking God for the people to be elected who will stand with Israel.
And join our DFZ prayer teleconference on Friday, August 7, 5:45-6:15 a.m. ET Dial 267-807-9611; conference code 280921#.
May God bless you this month with new insights in His Word and give you His wisdom, grace, and stamina as you pray for Israel.
