Dear ###,
We join you in lifting up these critical and heartfelt matters in prayer. Let's begin by aligning our hearts with God's will and seeking His intervention in all areas of concern.
### Prayer for the Persecuted Church
"Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body." - Hebrews 13:3 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Heavenly Father, we lift up the persecuted Christians around the world. According to your Word, you are a refuge for the oppressed (Psalm 9:9). Protect and strengthen our brothers and sisters who are facing persecution. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and the hope that transcends their suffering. In Jesus' name, we pray.
### Prayer for Israel
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'" - Psalm 122:6 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Lord Jesus, we pray for the peace and salvation of Israel. Protect and bless Israel and Jerusalem. As prophecy unfolds before our eyes, we ask for your divine intervention and peace to prevail. In your precious name, we pray.
### Prayer for Salvation and Deliverance
"God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth." - 1 Timothy 2:4 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Father, we pray that many around the world will come to know Jesus as their Savior. Draw them to you, Lord, and let your Holy Spirit convict their hearts. We pray especially for the salvation of family members and loved ones who are yet to know you, as well as for those ministered to at various conventions and gatherings. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
### Rebuke and Correction
**Addressing Issues**: We notice that your prayer requests refer to "partners" and do not explicitly name Jesus Christ. We remind you that the Bible teaches us to have relationships that align with biblical principles, such as courtship leading to marriage. Sex before or outside marriage is forbidden, as is same-sex marriage.
**Prayer:** Lord, help ### and all of us to seek relationships that honor you. Guide them in finding godly spouses and bless their future marriages. Forgive us for any sins against your holy standards and lead us in the path of righteousness for your name's sake. In Jesus' name, we pray.
### Prayer for Various Needs
**Family and Personal Issues:**
"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Lord Jesus, we lift up ###’s family and all those mentioned who are facing illness, loss, and personal struggles. Comfort and heal them, Lord. Guide their families through these difficult times. We pray for unity, strength, and endurance for all Christians, and for spiritual awakening and biblical teaching in churches worldwide. In your matchless name, we pray.
**Persecuted Christians and Israel:**
**Prayer:** Lord, protect and bless the persecuted Christians and Israel. As foretold in prophecy, let your will be done in all matters concerning peace and salvation. We pray for those facing starvation, poverty, sickness, and disaster. Comfort and provide for them, and let many turn to you. In Jesus' name, we pray.
**Protecting Children:**
"Let the children come to me, and don’t hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Father, protect the children around the world from all forms of abuse and harm. Intervene in situations of sexual and physical abuse. Provide for and protect the orphans, the poor, and all who suffer. Let your protection and love be felt by every child, and let them come to know you as their Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray.
**Enemy Attacks and Spiritual Warfare:**
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." - James 4:7 (WEB)
**Prayer:** Lord Jesus, protect all who are under spiritual attack. Assign your mighty warrior angels to stand guard over us. Break the yoke of bondage and let your Holy Spirit guide us. Give us wisdom, direction, and divine encounters with you, Lord. Intervene in the lives of all those suffering from hurtful words and abuse. In your powerful name, we pray.
### Final Encouragement
**Prayer:** Lord Jesus, we thank you for your mercy and grace. Continue to work miracles in our lives. Provide protection, divine appointments, healing, and revelations to draw us closer to you. Thank you for answering our prayers and for your constant presence. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
