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 protect Israel from all threats, especially from those who seek its destruction. May Your peace reign in Jerusalem, and may many come to know Jesus as their Messiah.
Father, we lift up the salvation of many around the world, including the ### 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 the light of the Gospel shine brightly in the darkest places.
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. Break the chains of abuse and bring healing and restoration. We also pray against the occult invasion in the media and ask for wisdom and discernment for all believers.
Lord, we lift up those on the brink of starvation, especially in ###, ###, ###, and other countries. Your Word in Psalm 146:7 says that You "give food to the hungry." Provide for their needs, Lord, and bring relief to those suffering from poverty, sickness, and disasters. We also pray for those affected by manmade disasters and conflicts, including the situation in ###.
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 Your Church, Lord, and prepare us for Your coming.
Finally, we pray for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all in need. Shelter and provide for the vulnerable, including children, women, the elderly, and the infirm. Protect us from the toxins and dangers in this world, and smite the works of darkness in our lives.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
