Dear Lord, we come before You on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Algeria. We lift up all the converts in this nation and ask for Your protection and guidance as they grow in their faith in Christ. We pray that You would keep them safe from harm and strengthen them in the face of pressure and discrimination.
Lord, we specifically lift up the church leaders in Algeria. We pray for their courage and wisdom as they navigate the challenges of having many churches closed and the risk of imprisonment for gathering together. Grant them Your grace and comfort, Lord, as they continue to lead Your people.
We also pray for the leaders of Algeria, Lord. 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.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to Your people. May Your presence be felt in Algeria, bringing hope and transformation to the nation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
