We come before You, Lord, to lift up the multitude of needs and concerns presented by ###. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is through Him alone that we have access to Your throne of grace.
Firstly, we address the stark rise in persecution of Christians worldwide. We stand on the promise in 1 Timothy 2:4, which tells us that God "desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Lord, we ask for Your divine protection and deliverance for the ### million Christians facing persecution. Strengthen their faith and let Your light shine through them, even in the darkest circumstances.
For Israel, we pray for peace and salvation. As prophecy unfolds, we ask for Your divine intervention and wisdom for their leaders. Bless Israel and Jerusalem, Lord, as You have promised in Your Word.
We intercede for the salvation of many around the world, including the ### billion unreached. May the Father draw them to Jesus, and may they come to know the truth and be saved.
Lord, we cry out for the protection of children around the world. With over half suffering from abuse, we ask for Your intervention. Comfort and heal these little ones, Lord. Break the chains of the occult and smite the works of darkness. Guide and protect all people, especially the vulnerable, and provide for their needs.
We pray for those on the brink of starvation and those suffering from poverty, sickness, disasters, and war. Lord, You are the provider and healer. Please stretch out Your hand and satisfy their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Lord, we ask for an awakening in the church universal. As the day of Your coming draws near, help us to be ready and vigilant. Protect us from falling away and fill us with sound biblical teaching.
We lift up the individuals and families mentioned by name, asking for healing, deliverance, salvation, and reconciliation. Lord, pour out Your mercy and grace upon them. We stand in faith, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
In addressing relationships, we uphold the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. Lord, guide those who are seeking spouses and bless them with godly marriages that honor You. For those in relationships that do not align with biblical principles, we pray for conviction, repentance, and a turning towards Your will.
Finally, we proclaim the power of the name of Jesus. As Acts 4:12 declares, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." We pray that all who read this come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
