We came here to pray and take in the site that is the Western Wall (or Wailing Wall). It was heart-rending to see the Jewish people crying out to God. Paul thought tenderly of his own people and wrote in Romans 10:1: "Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved". As I looked at these religious people - some young, some old - I could not help but feel burdened for them. As I finish this blog, the final thought I want to share, of all that I have seen here, is that the people need the Lord. Whether Arabs, Jews, or Gentiles they all come seeking contact with the Living God yet all they experience is dead religion. Pray for Israel and her people that the Good News would sound forth throughout this special place.
