Dear Heavenly Father,
In the mighty name of Jesus, we come before You with a prayer request on behalf of Cam_Evenson. We lift up all those who are facing persecution in various countries around the world because of their unwavering commitment to follow Jesus Christ. Lord, we acknowledge that there are millions who have to hide their faith and face the risk of death due to the efforts to abolish Christianity in these nations.
We pray, Lord, that You would strengthen and support these brave individuals who are standing firm in their faith. Surround them with Your divine protection and cover them with Your angels as they continue to spread Your Word and share the gospel with others. Grant them boldness, courage, and unwavering faith in the face of adversity.
Father, we ask that You would provide them with the resources, opportunities, and divine connections they need to further Your kingdom and reach more souls for Christ. Open doors of utterance for them, just as the Apostle Paul prayed, so that they may freely speak Your Word and bring hope to those who are lost.
We also pray for the families and loved ones of these persecuted believers. Comfort them in their distress and strengthen their faith as they support their loved ones who are on the frontlines of this pivotal work. Lord, let Your presence be tangible in their lives, providing them with peace, hope, and supernatural provision.
We lift up these prayer requests not only for the persecuted believers but also for ourselves. Help us to be aware of their struggles and to intercede on their behalf. Teach us to be sober in prosperity, patient in trial, and humble at all times. May we be faithful in praying for our brothers and sisters who are facing persecution, that Your Word may have free course in their lives and that the household of faith may grow stronger.
We also pray for the nations where Christianity is under attack. May Your truth prevail, and may the hearts of rulers and leaders be turned towards You. We ask that You would raise up ministers who will boldly preach the Gospel and remain sound in the faith.
Lastly, we lift up Cam_Evenson and all those who have a burden for the persecuted church. Strengthen them in their intercession and grant them wisdom and discernment as they seek to support and advocate for those who are suffering for their faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
