We stand with you, ###, in lifting up these numerous concerns to our Lord Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we can approach God (John 14:6). We are thankful that you have acknowledged the power of prayer and the name of Jesus in your requests.
### Persecuted Christians
First, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. We ask, Lord Jesus, that You comfort and strengthen them, reminding them of Your words:
> βBlessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.β (Matthew 5:11-12, WEB)
### Israel
For Israel, we ask for peace and salvation. We stand on the promise in Psalm 122:6:
> βPray for the peace of Jerusalem. They will prosper who love you.β (Psalm 122:6, WEB)
May God's protection be over Jerusalem and the people of Israel, and may they come to know Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
### Salvation and Protection of Children
We pray for the salvation of many around the world, including the 3 billion unreached, as we understand from 1 Timothy 2:4:
> β...who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.β (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB)
We also beseech the Lord for the protection of children from abuse and suffering. In the name of Jesus, we rebuke any occult influences in the media and ask that God will supernaturally protect and provide for children and vulnerable individuals globally.
### Starvation and Suffering
We turn to the Lord for those facing starvation and other forms of suffering, knowing that He is the helper of the helpless.
> βHe raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap.β (Psalm 113:7, WEB)
### Awakening in the Church
We pray for an awakening in the Church, for discernment and sound biblical teaching, aligning with Jesus' words:
> βThey will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.β (John 8:32, WEB)
### Family Reconciliation and Healing
We pray for unity and reconciliation within families, as well as for the salvation of all individuals involved. We ask for protection, healing, and deliverance for those named, including ###, ###, ###, ###, and others. We also praise the Lord for the miracles and answered prayers in their lives.
### Strength and Encouragement for Christians
We pray for strength, encouragement, and endurance for all Christians around the world, including individuals like ###, ###, and other brothers and sisters mentioned. May they be filled with the Holy Spirit and walk in the ways of the Lord (Colossians 3:23-24).
### For Individuals and Specific Needs
###, we lift up each individual you have mentioned, asking for comfort, healing, salvation, and provision. We rebuke any sin that may be present and ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance and wisdom in all situations.
### Ending with Jesus' Name
Finally, we declare all these prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written:
> βFor there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.β (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
We thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your sacrifice on the cross, which has given us the confidence to approach the throne of grace. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
