We join together in prayer, lifting up the multitude of concerns and requests shared by ###, aligning all with the will of God and the teachings of His Word.
### Persecuted Christians and Global Concerns
First, we pray for the persecuted Christians worldwide. The staggering increase in persecution is a sobering reminder of the end times. As we lift up the ### million persecuted in 2019 and now even ### million, we claim Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD."
Lord, grant strength, protection, and endurance to all believers undergoing suffering. May Your hand protect and comfort them, and may Your light shine through their trials, drawing many to salvation (1 Timothy 2:4).
### Israel and Bible Prophecy
We also pray for Israel, for peace and salvation. As tensions rise with Iran and biblical prophecy unfolds, we stand on the promises in Isaiah 60:18, "Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise."
Lord, protect Israel and draw many to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Bless Israel and Jerusalem in Your name, Lord Jesus.
### Salvation and the Unreached
We pray for the salvation of many around the world, including the ### billion unreached. May the Father draw them to Jesus (John 6:44). We stand on Your promise, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10).
### Protection and Deliverance for Children
We lift up the half of the world's children who suffer physical, sexual, and psychological abuse (UN report). Lord, intervene on behalf of these children, stopping the hands of their abusers. We pray for protection, deliverance, and Your comforting presence (Psalm 34:18).
### Starvation and Suffering
We pray for all those on the brink of starvation and suffering from poverty, sickness, natural disasters, and war. Lord, provide for their needs and protect them (Psalm 145:15-16). Comfort the afflicted and give them hope in You.
### Israel and Bible Prophecy
We pray for the people of Israel, who face grave threats from nations like Iran. Let Your peace and salvation reach them, and let Your promises be fulfilled (Isaiah 60:18).
### Personal Requests and Families
We lift up ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, and all others mentioned by ###. Lord, comfort those who have lost loved ones, provide healing for the sick, deliver those in bondage, save the unsaved, and grant unity and reconciliation to families.
We stand on Your promises in Philippians 4:6-7, "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."
### Strength and Encouragement for Christians
Lord, strengthen and encourage all Christians around the world. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, help us shun sin, and walk in Your ways. Give us wisdom, discernment, and power to proclaim Jesus to the world (Ephesians 6:10-18).
### Conclusion and Personal Faith
Finally, ###, as you lift up so many concerns, may you also experience the peace and encouragement of the Lord. If you have not yet called on the name of Jesus Christ for salvation, we urge you to do so now. It is only by His name that we are saved (Acts 4:12). Repent of your sins and place your trust in Him.
Lord Jesus, we come to You in faith, believing that You are the Son of God and that You died and rose again for our salvation. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, guide our paths, and grant us the wisdom and strength to live according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
