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 be with them always.
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. May the people of Israel come to know Jesus as their Messiah. Your Word in Psalm 122:6 instructs us to "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure.'"
Father, we pray for the salvation of many around the world. Draw them to Jesus, as You have said in 1 Timothy 2:4, "who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." We lift up the ### billion unreached people and ask for Your protection over children who suffer from abuse and exploitation. Lord, intervene in these situations and bring justice and healing.
We also pray for those on the brink of starvation, especially in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other countries. Provide for their needs, Lord, and bring relief to those suffering from poverty, sickness, and natural disasters. We ask for Your mercy and provision for the estimated ### billion people around the world who are in desperate need.
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.
We ask for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all those in need. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
