We join with you, ###, in lifting up the multitude of needs and concerns you've shared, praying fervently in the name of Jesus Christ. We stand on the promise that, "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14 WEB).
Firstly, we pray for the persecuted Christians around the world, who are suffering at unprecedented levels. Lord Jesus, be their shield and fortress, their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). Grant them the strength to endure, to stand firm in their faith, and to forgive their persecutors, as You did on the cross.
We pray for the peace and salvation of Israel, acknowledging that God's promises to them are irrevocable (Romans 11:29 WEB). Lord, guide their leaders, protect them from their enemies, and draw many to acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah.
We intercede for the salvation of many around the world, including the ### billion unreached. Father, draw them to Jesus, that they may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4 WEB). We pray for the protection of children worldwide who suffer various forms of abuse. Lord, be their defender, their refuge in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9 WEB). Comfort them, heal them, and intervene against the occult influences in the media.
We lift up those facing starvation, poverty, sickness, disasters, war, and conflict. Lord, you are the God who sees and hears (Exodus 3:7 WEB). Provide for their needs, heal their diseases, and bring peace to their lands. We pray for an awakening in the church universal, for sound biblical teaching, and protection from falling away.
We bring before you the many personal and family needs mentioned. Lord, in your mercy, bring salvation, deliverance, healing, and reconciliation to each one. Comfort those who mourn, strengthen the weak, encourage the downtrodden, and guide those seeking your will.
We pray against the spirit of fornication and adultery that seems to be at work in some of the mentioned situations. Lord, in your mercy, convict those involved, lead them to repentance, and help them to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).
Lastly, we rebuke the enemy's attempts to bring confusion, despair, and destruction. Lord, in your name, we bind these spirits and ask that you send forth your warrior angels to fight on behalf of your people (Psalm 91:11 WEB).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue steadfastly in prayer, trusting that the Lord hears and will answer according to His will. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9 WEB).
