Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we gather together in prayer, let us lift up our hearts and voices to our Heavenly Father, through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today, we want to specifically pray for the persecuted Christians around the world, for Israel, and for the salvation of many. We also want to intercede for the children suffering from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, as well as those affected by natural disasters and wars.
**Persecuted Christians around the world:**
* Lord, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, remembering His words in Matthew 5:11-12 (WEB): "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."
* We ask You, Father, to strengthen and comfort our persecuted brothers and sisters. Help them to endure their trials with joy and faith. We pray for their deliverance from persecution and for their salvation, if they have not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
* We ask You, Lord, to expose and judge those who persecute Your children. Bring them to justice, according to Your righteousness.
* We pray for the salvation of those who persecute and persecute others in Your name, that they may come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved.
**For Israel:**
* Lord, we pray for the peace and salvation of Israel, as the Bible tells us in Psalm 122:6 (WEB): "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be prosperous.'"
* We ask You, Father, to protect and guide Israel in these tense times, as Bible prophecy unfolds before our eyes. Help Israel to stand strong and steadfast in Your love and righteousness.
* We pray for the salvation of the people of Israel, that they may turn to You and find mercy and grace in Jesus Christ.
**For the salvation of many around the world:**
* Lord, we pray that many may come to know You and be saved, as 1 Timothy 2:4 (WEB) tells us: "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."
* We ask You, Father, to draw many unto Yourself, for salvation, and to fill those who call themselves followers of Jesus with the Holy Spirit, wisdom, and power to proclaim Jesus to the world.
**For the children suffering from abuse, neglect, and exploitation:**
* Lord, we cry out to You for the innocent children who are suffering at the hands of evil men and women. We ask You to intervene, to protect them, and to bring justice to their abusers.
* We pray for the salvation of those who abuse and exploit children, that they may come to know the truth and be saved from their sin.
**For those suffering from natural disasters and wars:**
* Lord, we pray for Your provision, comfort, and healing for those affected by natural disasters, wars, and other man-made disasters. We ask You to have mercy on all who suffer, and to bring peace and justice to those in need.
* We pray for the salvation of those who cause suffering and death to others, that they may turn from their evil ways and be saved through faith in Jesus Christ.
**For those seeking employment:**
* Lord, we trust in Your goodness and favor, as Philippians 4:19 (WEB) tells us: "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
* We ask You, Father, to provide for those seeking employment, according to Your riches in glory. Help them to find jobs that will support and bless them and their families.
**For those seeking relationships and marriage:**
* Lord, we pray for godly courtship and marriage, as 1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB) tells us: "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
* We ask You, Father, to help those seeking relationships and marriage to pursue godly courtship, leading to healthy and blessed marriages.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these numerous requests and concerns. We ask for Your divine intervention, guidance, and comfort in each situation. Help us to be steadfast in prayer, fervent in love, and abounding in Your grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
