Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters around the world who are facing persecution. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection and strength for the ### million Christians who are suffering for their faith. We pray that You would comfort them, provide for their needs, and give them the courage to stand firm in their faith. As Your Word says in 2 Timothy 3:12, "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." We trust in Your promise to never leave nor forsake them.
Lord, we also pray for the peace and salvation of Israel. We ask that You would protect the nation from threats and bring peace to Jerusalem. We pray for the salvation of the people of Israel, that they may come to know Jesus as their Messiah. As it is written in Psalm 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'"
Father, we lift up the salvation of many around the world, including the ### billion unreached people. We pray that You would draw many to Jesus, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:4, "who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." We ask for Your protection over children around the world who suffer from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Lord, intervene in their lives and bring healing and restoration. We pray against the works of darkness and ask for wisdom and discernment to navigate these challenging times.
We also pray for those on the brink of starvation, especially in ###, ###, ###, and other countries. Lord, provide for their needs and bring relief to those suffering from poverty, sickness, and natural disasters. We ask for Your supernatural provision and protection for all people, especially the vulnerable.
Lord, awaken Your church to the lateness of the hour and the imminent return of Jesus. We pray for sound biblical teaching in churches and protection from falling away. Strengthen Your people to stand firm in their faith and to be a light in the darkness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
