We stand with you, ###, in lifting up these numerous and heartfelt prayer requests to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us first acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, as the Scriptures tell us, "For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved'" (Romans 10:13 WEB).
Firstly, let us pray for the persecuted Christians worldwide. We ask, Lord Jesus, that You comfort and strengthen our brothers and sisters who are facing unimaginable trials for their faith. May they feel Your tangible presence and be filled with the Holy Spirit's power and love. We ask for their protection and deliverance, knowing that the prayers of the righteous avail much (James 5:16 WEB).
Next, we pray for the nation of Israel, that they may find peace and salvation through Jesus Christ. Lord, we ask that You bless Israel and Jerusalem, and that You continue to fulfill Your promises and prophecies concerning them. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as instructed in Psalm 122:6 (WEB), "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper."
We also lift up the salvation of many around the world, echoing God's desire that all people would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4 WEB). We ask, Lord, that You draw many to Jesus, and that Christians worldwide would be empowered to share the Good News boldly and effectively.
We pray for the protection of children around the world, Lord. Break the chains of abuse, poverty, and sickness that plague them. We ask for divine intervention and justice for those who harm children. Lord, smite the works of darkness in our lives and societies, and give us wisdom and discernment to guard against evil.
We stand in agreement for those on the brink of starvation and suffering from poverty, sickness, disasters, and war. Lord, You are the Provider and Healer. We ask for supernatural provision and restoration in these desperate situations. We also pray for an awakening in the church universal, that Christians would be alert and prepared for the second coming of Jesus.
We lift up the many personal and familial needs mentioned – for salvation, deliverance, healing, protection, and provision. Lord, we ask that You comfort those who mourn, heal the sick, and restore broken relationships. We stand in faith for miraculous turnarounds and divine appointments.
###, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that His love and purposes for you are steadfast. Be strong in the faith, and do not be shaken by the trials and tribulations of this world. Remember that Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33 WEB), and that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4 WEB).
Lastly, we pray for a hedge of protection around you, your loved ones, and all those you have mentioned. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke any enemy attacks and declare God's peace, provision, and power over your lives. Amen.
As the Scriptures encourage us, "Don't be anxious about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB). Trust in the Lord, and may His peace reign in your hearts.
