Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our hearts in prayer for the many urgent needs around the world. Lord, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, who face unimaginable trials and suffering. Your Word tells us in 2 Timothy 3:12 that "all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." We ask for Your divine protection, strength, and comfort for the ### million Christians facing persecution today. May they feel Your presence and be emboldened by Your Spirit.
Lord, we also pray for the peace and salvation of Israel. Your Word in Psalm 122:6 instructs us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem." We ask that You bring peace to this land and protect it from threats, especially from ###. May the people of Israel come to know Jesus as their Messiah and Savior.
Father, we lift up the salvation of many around the world, including the ### billion unreached. As 1 Timothy 2:4 says, You "desire all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Draw many to Jesus, Lord, and let Your gospel reach the ends of the earth.
We pray for the protection of children around the world, who suffer from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Lord, intervene in these situations and bring justice and healing. Protect the innocent and vulnerable, and expose the works of darkness. Give us wisdom and discernment to combat these evils.
Lord, we also pray for those on the brink of starvation, especially in ###, ###, ###, and other countries. Provide for their needs, Lord, and bring relief to those suffering from poverty, sickness, and natural and man-made disasters. We ask for Your supernatural provision and protection, especially for children, women, the elderly, and the infirm.
We pray for an awakening in the universal Church, that we may recognize the lateness of the hour and the imminent return of Jesus. Grant us sound biblical teaching and protect us from falling away. Strengthen our faith and resolve to live according to Your Word.
In Jesus' name, we pray for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all those in need. Amen.
