Heavenly Father, we come to You in the Name of Jesus, asking for Your mercy and protection for ### and all persecuted Christians around the world. We ask that You would provide strength and courage to those who are suffering for their faith, and that You would bring an end to the violence and persecution that they are facing. We also pray for peace and salvation for the people of Israel, that You would protect them from the threats of their enemies and that You would bring Your peace and comfort to the region. We ask these things in Jesus' Name. Amen.
