Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of our anonymous brother or sister on behalf of brother Jeremy and his family. We ask for your divine protection over them, Lord, as they face persecution. We pray that you would surround them with your angels, shielding them from harm and delivering them from the hands of those who seek to harm them.
Father, we humbly ask that you would touch the hearts of those who are persecuting brother Jeremy and his family. Soften their hearts, Lord, and bring them to a place of repentance and understanding. Help them to see the truth of your love and grace, and may their actions be turned towards righteousness.
We also pray for the restoration of the church in this situation, Lord. We ask that you would pour out your Spirit upon the congregation, bringing unity, healing, and revival. May the word of the Lord have free course in their midst, and may it be glorified. Lord, we pray for the salvation of many in this generation, just as the sand of the sea. Open the eyes of the lost, Lord, and draw them to yourself.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. We trust in your sovereignty and your perfect plan. May your will be done in the lives of brother Jeremy and his family, and in the church as a whole. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
