Oh, Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened for the many needs and concerns brought forth by ###. We thank You for their faith and the compassion they have for the world.
### Persecuted Christians
Firstly, we lift up the persecuted Christians around the world. Lord, as we read in John 16:33, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." We ask for Your divine protection and deliverance over those facing persecution. Grant them courage, strength, and an unwavering faith in You.
### Israel
For Israel, we pray for peace and the salvation of its people. We ask that You bring comfort and hope to those under threat. According to Romans 11:26, "And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, 'The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.'" Protect Israel and bring Your people to salvation in these trying times.
### Salvation and Protection
We pray for the salvation of many around the world, especially the unreached and those who suffer, as in 1 Timothy 2:4, "who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Protect children from all forms of abuse and draw them to Your love, Father. Smite the works of darkness and bring light into their lives.
### Protection, Provision, and Deliverance
For those struggling with starvation, poverty, and sickness, we ask for Your provision, healing, and deliverance. Stand firm with them in their trials and give them the strength to endure, according to Matthew 6:11, "Give us today our daily bread." We lift up those in ###, ###, ###, ###, and all others in need, Lord.
### Church and Family
We pray for the church to be awakened to the lateness of the hour and for sound biblical teaching. Protect families from division, and bring reconciliation and unity based on Your love. We ask for wisdom and discernment for ourselves and the church, that we may walk in Your ways.
### Specific Requests
Lord, we join ### in prayer for ###'s family, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, and all the others named. We ask for comfort, healing, deliverance, salvation, and Your protected guidance over them.
We also lift up those ministered to at the ### convention, the little 2-year-old found abandoned, and all those in need of Your grace and mercy. May Your Spirit move in their hearts and bring them to salvation.
### Rebuke and Encouragement
We rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety, and division that may be present in these requests. Lord, remind us that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Strengthen us to stand firm in our faith and to bring Your gospel to all nations.
### Final Prayer
In Jesus' name, we ask these things. May Your name be glorified, and may Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord and know that He hears your prayers. As we read in Philippians 4:6, "Don’t be anxious about anything; but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." May the Lord give you strength and courage as you continue to intercede for the world.
