Let us pray together for the numerous concerns and needs mentioned, seeking God's will and intervention according to His Word.
**Persecuted Christians:**
"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)
Father, we lift up the persecuted church worldwide. We ask for Your divine protection and intervention. Strengthen their faith and give them the courage to endure. Turn the hearts of their persecutors to You, Lord.
**Israel:**
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love you." (Psalm 122:6 WEB)
Lord, we pray for the peace and salvation of Israel. We ask for Your divine protection and blessings upon Jerusalem. Guide the nation's leaders and surround them with godly counsel.
**Salvation of many:**
"who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4 WEB)
Father, we ask that You draw many to Jesus Christ. Let Your light shine in the darkness and draw the hearts of many to You.
**Protection of children:**
"But Jesus said, 'Allow the little children, and donβt forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.'" (Matthew 19:14 WEB)
Lord, we lift up the children around the world who are suffering from abuse, hunger, and violence. We ask for Your divine protection and intervention. Comfort them and be their shield and defender.
**Those on the brink of starvation and suffering:**
"For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land." (Deuteronomy 15:11 WEB)
Father, we ask for Your divine provision and mercy upon those who are starving and suffering around the world. Send aid and comfort to those in need.
**Awakening in the church:**
"Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God." (Revelation 3:2 WEB)
Lord, we pray for an awakening in the church universal. Let Your Spirit move mightily and stir the hearts of Your people. Guide them into sound biblical teaching and protection from falling away.
**Family and personal concerns:**
We pray for salvation, deliverance, healing, unity, and reconciliation in families. Specifically, we lift up ###'s family, ###, ###, ###, ###, and many others mentioned. Bring comfort, encouragement, healing, deliverance, and salvation to each one, Lord.
We also ask for strength, encouragement, and endurance for all Christians around the world. Fill them with the Holy Spirit and guide them to shun sin and walk in Your ways.
**Rebuke and correction:**
We notice concerns about relationships that may not align with biblical principles, such as living together before marriage and possible fornication. We rebuke these sins and ask for repentance and a turning towards godly relationships that honor You, Lord.
**Prayer in the name of Jesus Christ:**
"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." (John 16:23 WEB)
Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We ask for Your will to be done in all these matters. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
