Is Poland in the Bible? Free Bible Study & Prayer for Poland

Poland is not named in the Bible. It lies in central Europe, with the Baltic Sea to the north and mountains to the south, and its people speak Polish, a Slavic language. In Polish the name Yahweh is commonly written Jahwe. Poland has known invasion, occupation and great suffering in its history, and many Poles have held to their faith through hard times.

Scripture speaks to a people who have wept: "Those who sow in tears will reap in joy" (Psalm 126:5). It also says, "The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8). Governments and borders change, but Yahweh's Word does not.

How to pray for Poland: Give thanks for its people. Ask Yahweh to give its leaders wisdom, honesty and a heart for peace with their neighbors (1 Timothy 2:1–2). Pray for comfort for those who grieve and for healing of old wounds. Pray for refugees and others far from home. Pray that believers and churches are strengthened and united, and that younger generations come to know Jesus (Yeshua), whose name means "Yahweh saves."

Most often we don't know what to pray in a given situation, much less for something as large and complicated as a whole nation and all its people. Scripture says it plainly: "we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us" (Romans 8:26). Praying in tongues lets the Holy Spirit perfectly pray Yahweh's will through us for Poland and its peoples. Learn more in Prayer in the Spirit.
