## Resource

Many influential voices are shaping a narrative that demonizes Israel, and it’s catching on at an alarming rate with young Christians in particular. But God loves Israel, and we should too—and we must pray for the nation. While many tie their views on Israel to its politics, we must let Scripture and the covenant God made with Abraham dictate our immovable support for the nation. Discover the blessing God has promised to those who love and pray for Jerusalem, the capital city of Israel where God placed His name!
