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 godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." We ask for Your divine protection, strength, and comfort for them. May their faith remain unshaken, 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 bring peace to this land and protect it from all threats. 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. Your Word in 1 Timothy 2:4 says that You "desire all men 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 abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Lord, Your heart is for the little ones, as You said in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Shield them from harm, provide for their needs, and bring justice to those who exploit them.
Lord, we intercede for those on the brink of starvation, especially in ###, ###, ###, and other countries. Your Word in Psalm 146:7 says that You "execute justice for the oppressed, who gives 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 our Lord Jesus Christ. Grant us sound biblical teaching and protect us from falling away, as Your Word warns in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
Finally, Lord, we ask for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all those in need. Your Word in Psalm 91:4 promises that "He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge." May Your supernatural provision and wisdom guide us in these challenging times.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
