The Entrance of His Word Gives Light
It’s time to fast and pray! Many of you know that each Spring and Fall, our Jewish Voice Ministries staff participates in a Week of Prayer and Fasting together. We set aside time for worship and praise, we fast in one form or another, and we schedule time for focused prayer and intercession. And each time we do this, we have a special theme or focal point.
This fall, our theme Scripture for the week is taken from Psalm 119:130: “The Entrance of Your Word Gives Light.” We have a daily Scripture as well.
We invite you to pray along with us. Our Week of Prayer and Fasting will take place from September 15 to 19. You can commit to praying with us each day by signing up on our 24/7 prayer schedule. You can also pray using the Scriptures we will be praying through during that week. We so appreciate your prayers joining with ours.
Here are the Scriptures we will be focusing on. Please pray with us!
Monday, September 15
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you….The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
— Isaiah 60:1–3 (NKJV)
Lord, may Your Jewish people rise up in the knowledge that Yeshua, Jesus, their Messiah, has come for them! His glory is displayed on them. They are to be a light to the nations. Help them to both know You and show You to the world.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?"
— Psalm 27:1
All during the Hebrew month of Elul, it is traditional to recite Psalm 27 each day. What an amazing passage! Lord, help us as we recite, believe, and pray this Psalm over our families and also on behalf of the Jewish people around the world. May we believe that You are indeed our Light and Salvation!
Wednesday, September 17
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”
— John 8:12
Lord, help us and all Your Jewish people to follow You, the Light of the world. You ARE Light, and in You there is no darkness, shadow, or variation. When we have You, we have the Light of life. We pray this reality for ourselves and all Your people.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
— Matthew 5:16
Father, help us not hide the Light You have placed in us “under a basket,” as Matthew 5:15 says. May we be eager to live boldly out of the Light of Your love, doing good to others and glorifying You. Show us how to do good deeds that bless Your Jewish people, and bring them to Your light.
Friday, September 19
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
— Psalm 119:105 (TLV)
Lord, as our Week of Prayer and Fasting comes to a close, we will continue to step forward into Your vision and plans for us, individually and as a ministry. Help us continually look to You and only to You for guidance and direction as we seek to bring Your light and life to Your Jewish people in a world that is growing increasingly dark. We have great faith that You will light our way!
Thank you for praying for the Lord to meet with us, speak to us, and guide us during our Week of Prayer and Fasting. Know that we will be praying for you as well!
Let’s Pray
Lord, we lift up all our partners, asking that You will guide their steps and bring light to every one of their concerns and questions. You are our Light, and we commit to following You!
