Dear Lord,
We come before You today on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Algeria. We lift up all the converts in this nation, asking that You would strengthen them in their faith and protect them from harm. In the face of pressure and discrimination, we pray that You would encourage them and give them the boldness to stand firm in their belief in Christ.
We specifically pray for the church leaders in Algeria, who face the risk of imprisonment for simply gathering together. Grant them wisdom and discernment as they navigate these challenging circumstances. May they be filled with Your grace and comfort, knowing that You are with them every step of the way.
Lord, we also lift up the leaders of Algeria to You. Soften their hearts and open their eyes to the importance of religious freedom. We pray that they would allow Your people to worship freely and openly, without the threat of arrest or harassment. May Your light shine brightly in this nation, transforming hearts and bringing about a spirit of tolerance and acceptance.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to the Church in Algeria. May Your presence be felt among them, and may they continue to grow in their love and devotion to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
