We stand with you, ###, in lifting up these extensive and heartfelt prayers and concerns. Let us align our hearts with God's will and seek His divine intervention in these matters.
Firstly, we acknowledge the staggering rise in persecution of Christians worldwide. We pray for our brothers and sisters who are facing unimaginable trials for their faith. We claim the promise in 1 Timothy 2:4, "who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Lord, strengthen them, protect them, and may Your grace be sufficient for them in their time of need.
For Israel, we pray for peace and salvation. As prophecy unfolds, we ask for Your divine protection over the nation and its people. As it is written in Psalm 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure.'"
We lift up the salvation of many around the world, including the unreached. May the Father draw many to Jesus, and may they come to know Him as their personal Savior.
Concerning the protection of children, we rebuke the evil that seeks to harm them. We pray against the occult invasion in the media and ask that You, Lord, would smite the works of darkness. We pray for comfort, provision, and shelter for all who are suffering, especially children, women, the elderly, and the infirm.
For those on the brink of starvation and all who are suffering due to poverty, sickness, natural disasters, manmade disasters, war, and conflict, we pray for Your divine intervention. May You provide for their needs and bring healing and restoration.
We ask for an awakening in the church universal regarding the lateness of the hour and the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May sound biblical teaching prevail in churches, and may believers be protected from falling away.
For families, we pray for protection, salvation, deliverance, healing, unity, and reconciliation. We claim the promise in Joshua 24:15, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
We pray for strength, encouragement, and endurance for all Christians around the world. May we be filled with the Holy Spirit, shun sin, walk in Your ways, and be given wisdom, discernment, and power to proclaim Jesus to the world.
Regarding relationships and marriages, we pray that they would align with biblical principles. We encourage those who are in courtship to seek godly spouses and to pursue relationships that honor God. We rebuke any form of fornication or adultery and exhort all to flee from sexual immorality, as commanded in 1 Corinthians 6:18.
We lift up the many individuals and families mentioned in your request, ###. May the Lord bless, protect, comfort, encourage, heal, deliver, save, and draw them close to Himself. We pray that those who do not know Jesus would come to a saving knowledge of Him, and that those who are struggling would find strength and hope in Him.
Finally, we address the concern regarding the absence of Jesus' name in some parts of the prayer. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage all to acknowledge Jesus as the only way to the Father and to pray in His name.
Lord Jesus, we ask for Your divine intervention in all these matters. May Your will be done, and may You be glorified in all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
