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 these believers. May their faith remain steadfast, and may they find refuge under Your wings.
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 protect Israel from threats and bring peace to the region. 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 3 billion unreached. Your Word in 1 Timothy 2:4 says that 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, Your heart grieves for these little ones. We ask for Your intervention and protection. May You smite the works of darkness and bring justice and healing to these children. Grant wisdom and discernment to those in positions to help and protect them.
Lord, we also pray for those on the brink of starvation, especially in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other countries. Your Word in Psalm 146:7 says that You "execute justice for the oppressed and give food to the hungry." Provide for their needs, Lord, and bring relief to those suffering from poverty, sickness, and disasters.
We pray for an awakening in the universal church, that we may recognize the lateness of the hour and the imminent return of Jesus. May sound biblical teaching prevail, and may we be protected from falling away. Strengthen Your church, Lord, and prepare us for Your coming.
Lastly, we pray for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all those in need. Your Word in Psalm 91:4 says, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." Shelter and provide for the vulnerable, Lord, and let Your supernatural provision be evident in their lives.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
