Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, 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 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 bring peace to this land and protect it from all threats, especially from those who seek its destruction. 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. Protect the children around the world who suffer from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. We ask for Your intervention and protection over them, and that You would smite the works of darkness in our lives and in the media.
We 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 or man-made disasters. We ask for Your supernatural provision and protection, especially for the vulnerable—children, women, the elderly, and the infirm.
Lord, awaken Your church to the lateness of the hour and the imminent return of Jesus. May there be a revival of sound biblical teaching and a protection from falling away. We pray for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all who are in need.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
