Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence, lifting up these many requests in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.
First, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. Lord, we ask for Your protection and strength for them. Your Word says in 2 Timothy 3:12, "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." We pray that You strengthen them and give them the courage to stand firm in their faith.
We also pray for Israel, for peace and salvation of its people. Psalm 122:6 says, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper." We ask for Your divine intervention in the tense situations they face, especially with threats from neighboring nations. Bless and protect Israel and Jerusalem, Lord Jesus.
Lord, we pray for the salvation of many around the world. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:4, "who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." Draw many to Jesus, Father, and let Your light shine in the darkest places.
We lift up the children around the world who are suffering from abuse and exploitation. Jesus, You said in Mark 9:37, "Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me." Protect these innocent lives, Lord, and bring justice and healing to those who have been harmed.
Father, we pray for those on the brink of starvation, especially in countries like ###, ###, and ###. Psalm 146:7 says, "He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry." Provide for them, Lord, and let Your mercy and provision be evident.
We also pray for an awakening in the universal church regarding the lateness of the hour and the second coming of Christ. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching." Let there be sound biblical teaching and protection from falling away.
Lord, we ask for protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing, as well as unity and reconciliation in families. Colossians 3:14-15 says, "Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts." Bring peace and restoration, Lord.
We pray for strength, encouragement, and endurance for all Christians around the world. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, help us shun sin, walk in Your ways, and proclaim Jesus to the world. Ephesians 6:10 reminds us, "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might."
Lord Jesus, we lift up specific individuals and their needs. Comfort those mourning the loss of loved ones, heal the sick, deliver those in bondage, and provide for those in need. Philippians 4:19 says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
We thank You, Lord, for the many answered prayers and miracles already seen. Continue to work in these situations for Your glory. We plead Your precious blood and ask for a wall of Holy Spirit fire around us.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
