The Bow of Elam

How to Pray in This Critical Moment
We believe this is a critical moment for focused and informed prayer.
As we gathered this morning to pray in Jerusalem, we were reminded of Jeremiah 49:35: "Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might."
Watch Ariel Blumenthal’s short video update from Jerusalem.
The "bow" can represent the extension of Iran's power throughout the Middle East. Today, that power is most visibly expressed through Hezbollah in Lebanon—a proxy force built over decades and positioned on Israel's northern border.
As military and political developments continue to unfold, we ask you to stand with us in prayer.
Please Pray:
• For protection over Israel's citizens, soldiers, and communities as missile attacks continue.
• For the breaking of Hezbollah's power and influence in Lebanon, and for freedom and stability to come to the Lebanese people.
• For wisdom and courage for Israeli, American, and regional leaders as critical decisions are being made.
• For the underground church in Iran, which is longing not merely for political freedom, but for the opportunity to carry the Gospel throughout the Middle East.
• For the downfall of oppression and the release of a new season of spiritual awakening across Iran and the surrounding nations.
• For God's purposes to prevail in Israel, Lebanon, Iran, and throughout the Middle East.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer during these pivotal days.
"Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Shalom from Jerusalem,
Tikkun Global
