Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Fraz to you. We ask for your divine intervention in his situation. Lord, we pray for his safety and protection while he is in jail. We ask that you surround him with your angels and keep him from harm.
Father, we also pray for his release from custody. We know that you are a God of justice and mercy, and we ask that you would open doors and make a way for Fraz to be set free. We pray for favor with the authorities and for a fair and just resolution to his case.
Lord, we lift up all those who are facing persecution for their faith. We know that you are with them in their suffering, and we ask for your strength and comfort to be upon them. May they find solace in knowing that they are not alone, but that there are believers around the world praying for them.
We thank you, Lord, for the privilege of coming to you in prayer. We are reminded of the words of Daniel, who prayed, "Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake" . We ask that you would cause your face to shine upon Fraz and all those who are suffering for their faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
