We come before You in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We ask for Your mercy and intervention in the numerous trials and tribulations that our brother ### and countless others are facing.
**Lord, we pray for:**
1. **Persecuted Christians:** Protect and strengthen the 365 million persecuted Christians worldwide. Comfort those in areas facing genocidal levels of persecution. Give them peace, courage, and boldness to stand firm in their faith despite the opposition.
*"You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, WEB)*
2. **Israel:** Bring peace and salvation to the people of Israel. Guard Jerusalem and hold back the forces that seek to destroy it. Fulfill Your unbreakable promises for the people of Israel.
*"I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all the families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3, WEB)*
3. **Salvation:** We pray for the Father to draw many to Jesus. Bring the light of the Gospel to the three billion unreached. Move in the hearts of those who need salvation and allow Your kingdom to be established on earth.
*"who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB)*
4. **Children worldwide:** Guard the innocence of children around the globe. Protect them from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Intercede for their safety and bring comfort to those suffering. Demolish the forces of darkness influencing the media and expose all wickedness.
*"But Jesus said, 'Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.'" (Matthew 19:14, WEB)*
5. **Those facing starvation and poverty:** Provide for the needs of those suffering from starvation and poverty. Move in the hearts of those who have the means to help, and bring resources to the needy. Guide the distribution of aid and give strength to endure the challenges.
*"For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me." (Matthew 25:35, WEB)*
6. **Awakening in the Church:** Awaken Your Church to the lateness of the hour and the second coming of Christ. Fill the congregations with sound biblical teaching, and protect them from falling away.
*"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10, WEB)*
7. **Families:** Bring healing, unity, protection, and reconciliation to families. Strengthen the bonds of love and guide those who stumble back to the paths of righteousness.
*"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all people, and especially toward the household of faith." (Galatians 6:10, WEB)*
8. **Strength and endurance:** Strengthen and encourage all Christians around the world to endure and to walk in holy. Fill them with the Holy Spirit and give them wisdom, discernment, and the power to proclaim Jesus to the world.

**Lord Jesus**, we thank You that You hear our prayers. We ask that You intervene in these dire situations and bring Your will to pass. In the authority of Your name, we rebuke the yokes of bondage, sin, idolatry, fornication, homosexuality, and every other wickedness. Surround all believers with Your protection and equip us to be Your beacons of light.
**Father**, we seek Your will in all things. We pray for those we have mentioned by name and for all Your children facing trials. May Your Holy Spirit guide us and empower us to be faithful witnesses of Your love and grace.

**In the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.**
