Persecuted Christians - Central Asian teens in danger for their faith

Friends, it's time to pray for two teenage girls in Central Asia: Anita and Sonya. They are risking their lives to follow Jesus and they need our support today.

Anita - not her real name - is 17. She made the decision to follow Christ, and now she's paying the price. Her Muslim relatives have locked her in the house and won't permit her to leave without her elder brother to escort her.

Her uncle, aunt and mother took her laptop and phone to prevent her from communicating with others. She managed to get a message to her pastor's family about her situation and has asked them for prayer. She's not allowed to meet or speak with other Christians, and she feels lost and vulnerable without the fellowship of believers.

Lord God, Anita needs Your presence to be very real and very large with her right now. Though she is closed off from other people, she is not closed off from Your Spirit. Light a fire of encouragement in her heart, and fill her with unspeakable joy that confounds those who are trying to contain her.

Sonya - not her real name - is just 16. She often secretly visited a home church in her village. She knew she had to hide her new faith from her schoolmates and villagers, as the attitude toward converted Christians is very bad.

Recently, her classmates learned she became a Christian. Now she is in danger. Her classmates treat her rudely and threaten to kill her for "accepting a foreign god". Sonya is frightened to go to school or even leave her home because of the threats.

Father, surround Sonya with a thick wall of protection from those who would harm her. Fill hear heart with boldness, tempered with wisdom, so that she can live and move in her community without terror. Light her path with Your Word, and help her to grow into a strong and confident woman of God.

I have prayed about this. In Jesus name.

James 5:16;
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12
 
I have prayed in Jesus' name that God will answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy.

Bless me with a deep and abiding love to read, study, listen to and meditate upon Your Word. God let Your Word dwell within me richly. So that I may come to know You better, love You more, and make You known. God help me, show me how, and bless me to have an ever-growing closer, stronger, more intimate relationship with You. God bless me with and cause me to always think, act, and react with a God solution-focused heart, mind, attitude, and spirit. God help me and bless me to walk in the truth, faith, hope, and love of Your Word and presence in my life. God place Your angels all around me to cover and protect me from all sickness, evil, hurt, harm, danger, accidents, the plans of my enemies, and the plans of the enemy of my soul.

And God please bless each of us to always walk in the integrity, love, character, and habits of Christ Jesus. Let us all live our lives for Your glory and good pleasure. God please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so. God Thank You for answering this prayer and Thank You for loving me. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You Lord Jesus. Prayer written by Encourager Linda Flagg, M.A., Board Certified Professional Christian Life Coach

God Will Fight For You!
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
