Dear Lord,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters in Algeria. We pray for all those who have converted to follow Christ, that You would strengthen them in their faith and protect them from harm. In the face of pressure and discrimination, may they find encouragement and perseverance in You.
We specifically lift up the church leaders in Algeria, who face the risk of imprisonment for simply gathering together. Grant them wisdom, courage, and boldness to continue leading Your people despite the challenges they face. May they be filled with Your grace and comfort in their ministry.
Lord, we also pray for the leaders of Algeria. Soften their hearts and open their eyes to the importance of religious freedom. May they recognize the value of allowing Your people to worship freely and openly, without the threat of arrest or harassment. Bring about a change in their policies and attitudes towards Christianity.
We thank You for the opportunity to lift up these prayer requests, and we trust that You hear our prayers. May Your will be done in Algeria, and may Your church continue to grow and thrive in the midst of adversity.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
