A prayer and Comfort for those who mourn in Zion

Besorah for the Brokenhearted

The Ruach of Adonai Elohim is on me,
because Adonai has anointed me
    to proclaim Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor
    and the day of our God’s vengeance,

 

to comfort all who mourn to console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes,
    the oil of joy for mourning,
    the garment of praise
        for the spirit of heaviness,
    that they might be called oaks of righteousness,
    the planting of Adonai,
    that He may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:1~3

Dear Father,

It was on Shabbat.  It was on International Holocaust Remebrance Day.  It was on the Shabbat of reading about the night that You set your people free and started the Exodus from Egypt.  We join our hearts with Israel and remember the 7 victims of the terrorist attack that took place on that night outside a synagogue in Jerusalem on that Friday night, even there was a boy only 14 years old, the all too young Asher was among the victims that night who was heinously killed.  We pray for your comfort to all who mourn and thank You that You are the One who consoles those who mourn in Zion.  

We pray for comfort for all the families of the 7 victims, complete healing for any that survived the attacks, and protection from any more attacks and cessation of these acts of terror.

We pray for both Jew and Arab, Christian and Moslem,   for a healing of the hatred and the pulling out of the root of evil that would cause a young 21 year old in the prime of life, a life that was given by You dear Father, to use this precious gift of life and carry out such a horrendous act to go out and intentionally kill, to intentionally destroy, and to have such a hate that was taught through generations even specifically against the Jewish people. 

We repent, LORD, that we have seen many years of such hate growing and perhaps could be doing much more.  Especially to pray for Israel as your word says, may we take no rest until you make Jerusalem a praise in all the earth.  You are the God who is `Zealous for Zion` and to restore your people to the land.   Could it be that this is a wake up to the Body of Messiah as well.  We ask you open our spiritual eyes towards Jerusalem and  help us to know how to pray so we can act ahead of the evil and close doors which have been open to allow such rampant acts of hate.  May our forgiveness and reconciliation between one another bring about a greater release of forgiveness and reconcilliation and healing amongst all peoples, and hasten the return of Messiah to put Your feet on Zion once more, speedliy and in our day.

We also ask for a breaking down of and a total getting rid of the teachings and education system where youths are taught by adults to kill and to hate.  We pray for a softening of all hearts to forgive and to reconcile and to put down the guns and the knives and that soon they will indeed be changed to plowshares as all will call upon the Name of the LORD.

Father we give you thanks for your Mercy and loving kindness, and for your grace in the name of Your Beloved Son Yeshua. 

Amen.

And now continuing in the verse, as this is the week of Shabbat of Song, we proclaim Victory in Yeshua.  We also pray for a hastening of turning of mourning into joy and may Israel come into the next Shabbat , we ask you to give them beauty for ashes,
    the oil of joy for mourning,
    the garment of praise
        for the spirit of heaviness.  After the days of the Shiva (first 7 days of mourning), may there be singing the song of Salvation, singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb as this will be the Shabbat of Song.  May no plan of the enemy come against the breaking forth in song by all Israel as we are reading this very week in the splitting of the sea.  Breakforth oh LORD with Your Deliverance!!!  

Save us O Lord and we shall be saved! Heal us and we shall be healed.  The LORD is our Strength and our Song.  He has also become our Yeshua! 

Blessings and Love,

Shayndel

 Instead of your shame, double portion.
instead of disgrace they will sing for joy.
Therefore in their land they will inherit a double portion;
    they will have everlasting joy.

Isaiah 61:7

Mount of Olives, in memory of Asher.  I just read that the precious son was buried on the Mt. of Olives.  Even as we are coming up on Tu B`Shevat, may we plant trees in the beloved memory of the victims and as a prayer for the prophetic return of the Jewish people , may we be more active in the restoration of Zion, to build and to plant!!
