I Prayed have prayed
Father, thank You for leaders like Secretary Pompeo, who seek You and ask for Your wisdom. Help him as he leads and we pray for the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

This week Iranian officials announced that they are continuing to violate the Obama-era nuclear deal, surpassing the limit on uranium enrichment. Speaking at the Christians United for Israel conference, Secretary of State Pompeo refused to be intimidated: “We’ve implemented the strongest pressure campaign in history against the Iranian regime, and we are not done.”

Pray about the continued Chess Match with Iran with our latest prayer resource. You will be able to learn more about Iran’s military leaders and pray effectively about the situation.

Secretary Pompeo further elaborated, “We’ve cut off billions in funds that the Islamic Republic–Iran’s leadership–would have used for various nefarious purposes, not the least of which would have been their efforts to destroy the state of Israel.”

His entire, excellent talk, entitled “The United States and Israel:  A Friendship for Freedom,” can be viewed at the Department of State website–visit https://www.state.gov/the-u-s-and-israel-a-friendship-for-freedom/

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday denounced Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its “attempt to harass” a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, even as the IRGC and Iran’s foreign minister denied that the incident ever occurred.

Britain’s ministry of defense confirmed that three Iranian boats had on Wednesday “attempted to impede the passage” of the tanker, British Heritage, and that a Royal Navy frigate had intervened . . .

Territory authorities said earlier that, contrary to some claims, the supertanker was found to be laden to capacity with crude oil.

Iran’s foreign ministry has denied the ship was bound for Syria, but has not provided an alternative intended destination.

The BBC reports that the British government this week lifted the threat level facing British ships in the Persian Gulf to the highest level – “critical.”

The Strait of Hormuz lies between Iran and Oman, less than 30 miles wide at its narrowest point. It has two shipping lanes, one for tanker traffic in each direction, that are a mere two nautical miles across. The waters traversed are Iranian and Omani territory.

The U.S. is looking to bring together a coalition of countries to patrol the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandeb at the entrance to the Red Sea, and escort ships using the two narrow waterways, both crucial to world energy and commercial shipping.” (Excerpt from CNS News Now)

Father, I pray for Mike Pompeo and ask for Your protection over him and all who are working together with him. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person who is dedicating their life to this delicate ministry. We pray for angelic protection to keep them safe from harm and every evil intent of the enemy. Lift them up so that they do not even dash their feet against any stone that is placed in their path, but raise them above every obstacle and intimidation. Fill them with words of wisdom that cannot be argued against. Keep these lights shining bright in the darkest parts of our world. Thank you for those whom You have placed in positions of leadership to carry out Your will and Your plans. We bless You and worship You as You continue to guide them day by day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Join me in prayerfully praying and believing our one true Almighty Triune God will personally join the coalition of countries to patrol the entrance to the Red Sea, that the enemy’s plan will break into totally unsuccessful pieces. Our God reigns!!! May fear be erased, may peace be replaced in each of our hearts!
Let’s join strongly together to pray for any of our children or grandchildren who are leaning toward the new tolerance in our society. Praying in the Mighty Name of Jesus with God deserving and receiving all of the glory!

Praise you, Father, for lifting Mike Pompeo to this position in our government, who looks to you for wisdom and power to keep America safe, to thwart harmful plans of other countries and subdue dictators and world leaders who desire to cause harm to Israel. Show Mike Pompeo favor in all his dealing with Iran. Let God arise in every meeting and let the enemy of your people be scattered, and their plans for evil defeated. We ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for giving our administration the courage to stand up to a “bully” and to confront what is not acceptable behavior for our world.

I feel the same way and I think their first target would be Israel. Too bad people don’t see good news being reported. Maybe if it was, we could change the mindset of a nation.

I agree with Alan and Lord I pray for Mike Pompeo as he and President Trump stand firm in their actions and attitudes towards Iran and their blatant dismissive action of the prior agreement made concerning uranium limits. Lord, let YOUR will be done as Your people pray over this and other ungodly situations.

Thank you Lord for a policy of firmness when it comes to the Islamic Republic of Iran. That nation attaining
nukes poses an unacceptable threat to world peace and regional stability.
