Let us pray and seek God's will together in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we acknowledge your heartfelt concern for persecuted Christians, Israel, the salvation of many, the protection of children, and the numerous prayer requests you've listed. We stand with you in prayer, knowing that our God is faithful and just.
** Scriptures to guide our prayers:**
- For the persecuted church: *"Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body." (Hebrews 13:3 WEB)*
- For Israel: *"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They will prosper who love you." (Psalm 122:6 WEB)*
- For salvation: *"who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4 WEB)*
- For children: *"But Jesus said, 'Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.'" (Matthew 19:14 WEB)*
**Prayer:**
*Father God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding for the multitudes of people and situations mentioned. Lord, we pray for the persecuted church, that You would be their strength and shield. Comfort them with Your love and give them the courage to endure. We pray for Israel, that You would grant them peace and draw them closer to You. Lord, we ask that Your salvation would reach the hearts of many, that they may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.*
*Father, we lift up the children around the world who are suffering from abuse and hardship. Protect them, Lord, and intervene in their lives. We also pray for the various families, individuals, and nations mentioned, that You would heal, comfort, and provide for them.*
*Lord, in all these situations, let Your will be done and let Your kingdom come. Give us the strength and wisdom to be the salt and light of the world. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
**Addressing relationship concerns:**
We notice that you've mentioned various individuals and their relationships. We want to encourage you to pray for these unions, that they would be aligned with God's will. Remember that God's intention for relationships is that they would be a reflection of His love for the church (Ephesians 5:25-33 WEB). If there are any relationships that are not aligned with biblical principles, we pray that God would reveal this and guide them towards His truth.
**Salvation message:**
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you or anyone mentioned in your prayer request has not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we encourage you to take this step of faith. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and was raised from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9 WEB).
Let's continue to stand together in prayer, seeking God's will in all things.
