We stand with you in prayer, ###, lifting up the many concerns and needs you've brought before us. Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that Jesus is our intercessor and the only way to the Father.
Firstly, we acknowledge the pressing need for prayer and support for persecuted Christians around the world. The escalating persecution, now affecting over 360 million believers, is a stark reminder of the spiritual warfare we are engaged in. We pray for their strength, endurance, and deliverance, remembering the words of Jesus in John 16:33 WEB, "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
We also lift up Israel, asking for peace and salvation for its people. We recognize the prophetic significance of this nation and pray that the Lord would bless and protect Jerusalem, as Psalm 122:6 WEB says, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They will prosper who love you."
Regarding the salvation of many around the world, we echo the apostle Paul's words in 1 Timothy 2:4 WEB, "...who wants all people to be saved and to come to full knowledge of the truth." We ask that the Father would draw many to Jesus, including the unreached and those suffering from various forms of abuse and hardship.
We prayerfully address the request of a pregnancy not occurring in certain conditions. We first and foremost must go to a passage which addresses the nature of the relationship and God's gift of sexual intimacy.
1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB "But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." We must mention that nowhere in the bible is sex approved of between two unwed individuals. Nor is there anywhere in the Bible where pregnancy outside of marriage is approved of either. We must pray for this situation that God can bring repentance and give strength to those involved to stop sinning in this area. Seeing as we are not told of a marriage, we must assume there is not one. I do not see any Scriptural reason why we would pray against a pregnancy occurring once this sin has occurred.
You have mentioned various family issues, strongholds, and bondage. We rebuke the enemy's attempts to destroy families and pray for reconciliation and healing, as described in Malachi 4:6 WEB, "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers..."
We remember in prayer:
-homeless
-child abuse
-mayhem to Syria and Turkey
-war in Ukraine
-###'s future and family
-###'s divorce and salvation
-hurting families
-### family
-### family
-### family
-5 min old abandoned boy.
-###
-financial problems
-### mom in hospital
-### family
-indians and angolans attacked by cooking fires
-all of our church family and everyone else you requested specifically.
We are concerned that nowhere in the entirety of the body of Christ there anywhere you have made a confession of faith in Jesus Christ. We beseech you and your household repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Beloved, as you have mentioned various nations and situations, remember that God is sovereign over all. He can turn even the most dire circumstances for good, as Romans 8:28 WEB reminds us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Do not allow worry or anxiety to consume you, for Jesus promised when a person seeks first God, Himself and His Kingdom He provides all that is needed, in Matthew 6:33-34 WEB "But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
God is not judging the world at this moment and He is willing to save everyone who calls on the Name of Jesus asking forgiveness and believing in Him. He wishes all men to be saved and none to perish in Hell, the wrath to come. The only way to the Father is by Jesus the Christ. John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Just as our salvation was accomplished in Jesus Christ in the past and promised at his historical death on the cross and resurrection, if you put your faith in Jesus Christ's historical death and resurrection He will save you as well. This salvation is promised in the past tense as if it already occurred and as if you and Jesus Christ were the only two people on the Earth for this promise.
Acts 16:30-31 WEB says. And brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” It is that simple. Believe.
Many of the issues you have asked for prayer about may be corrected by simply being reconciled to God, accepting the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. He has called us to repentance of sin and belief in Him as the savior of men.
Unfortunately, we cannot help in any way to exacerbate or assist this sin. We have no Scripture to be found that would confirm that aborting the pregnancy is in GOD's will. Continuing in this sin results in eternal punishment for a individual, unless you repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us join our hearts in prayer, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15 WEB

Dear [Original Poster's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my support and prayers for the concerns you've shared. I understand that you are going through a challenging time, and I want you to know that you are not alone.
Firstly, I join you in praying for persecuted Christians around the world. The staggering number of believers facing persecution is indeed alarming. I pray that God would strengthen, encourage, and endue them with endurance. I also pray for their deliverance and salvation, remembering the words of Jesus in John 16:33, "In me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression, but cheer up, I have overcome the world."
I also join you in praying for peace and salvation for the people of Israel. I recognize the prophetic significance of this nation and pray that the Lord would bless, protect, and prosper those who love Jerusalem, as Psalm 122:6 says, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They will prosper who love you."
I pray for the salvation of many around the world, that the Father would draw many to Jesus, including the unreached and those suffering from various forms of abuse and hardship. I also pray for the protection, shelter, and supernatural provision for people, especially the elderly, women, children, and the infirm, concerning also the toxins we are exposed to.
I understand that you have mentioned a pregnancy not occurring in certain conditions. I want to assure you that nowhere in the Bible is sex approved between two unwed individuals, nor is pregnancy approved outside of marriage. I encourage you to approach this situation with repentance and seek God's will together.
You've also mentioned various family issues, strongholds, and bondage. I pray for reconciliation, healing, and deliverance for these families, remembering Malachi 4:6, "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers."
I pray for comfort, healing, and deliverance for those who are sick, including the elderly and children suffering from severe wasting. I also pray for wisdom, discernment, and power to proclaim Jesus to the world.
I want to assure you that God is not judging the world at this moment but is willing to save every person who calls on the name of Jesus. He wishes all men to be saved and none to perish in hell. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, as John 14:6 says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
I encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ's historical death and resurrection. If you put your faith in Jesus Christ's historical death and resurrection, He will save you as well as He saved the first believers in the past.
I pray that God would comfort you and your household, that you would repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ. I believe that God is using brother ### to help those in need in India. I pray that God would multiply his efforts and that many would be saved, including those who are receiving physical provisions through brother ###'s efforts.
I pray for all the specific prayer requests you've mentioned, including those for the families and individuals you've mentioned by name. I also pray for the salvation of those who need it, including the unsaved family members you've mentioned.
I encourage you to seek God's will in all things, trusting that He is working all things together for good for those who love Him, according to Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
I want to assure you that God is sovereign over all and can turn even the most dire circumstances for good, as Romans 8:28 reminds us. We must not allow worry or anxiety to consume us but trust that God will provide all that is needed, as Matthew 6:33-34 assures us, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
I pray that you would find comfort and strength in these Scriptures and in the knowledge that God is with you, as Psalm 23:4 assures us, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
I close this prayer with the words of Jude 1:24-25, "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, both now and forever. Amen."
May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength during this time.
