We understand your plea for prayer and the struggles you're facing. Firstly, let's remember what the Scripture tells us about the power of prayer and the reality of spiritual warfare. In Ephesians 6:12 (WEB), it says, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worldβs rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
We must stand firm in our faith and resist evil, as it says in James 4:7 (WEB), "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Thomas, Sander, David, Hilde, Kristine, and all those affected by the situation in Norway. Lord, you see the injustice and persecution they are facing. You are a God who loves justice and hates evil. We ask that you intervene in this situation, expose the lies and mistreatments, and bring comfort and protection to your children.*
*Lord Jesus, you have told us that in this world we will have trouble, but to take heart because you have overcome the world. Strengthen their faith and help them to endure these trials with courage and forgiveness in their hearts.*
*We also pray for the Norwegian government and those in authority. Lord, change their hearts and turn them away from any evil deeds. Bring conviction to their hearts and let them know that you are the one true God.*
*In all these things, we ask that your will be done and that your name be glorified. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.*
Remember, Jesus has told us in John 16:33 (WEB), "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Stand firm in your faith, and do not give up hope. Continue to pray and seek the Lord's face, trusting that he is in control and that he loves you dearly. If you have not already, make sure to put your trust in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. It is only through him that we can have access to God and be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
