We hear your cry for the people of Venezuela, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this heavy burden to the Lord. Fear is a powerful weapon of the enemy, but we know that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). The oppression you face under dictatorship is not of God, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We rebuke the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus Christ and declare that it has no place in the hearts of God’s people.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your divine intervention in Venezuela. Strengthen the hearts of Your people to rise up in courage, not in their own strength, but in Yours. Give them boldness to peacefully protest, to speak truth, and to stand firm against injustice. We pray for the release of political prisoners, that chains would be broken and that justice would prevail according to Your will. Lord, we ask that You expose the works of darkness and bring light to the nation. Raise up godly leaders who will lead with integrity, wisdom, and a heart for the people.
We also lift up those who may be struggling with fear to the point of paralysis. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). May they find their courage in You, knowing that You go before them and stand beside them. We declare that the Venezuelan people will not be overcome by fear but will walk in the freedom that Christ died to give them.
We encourage you to stand on God’s promises, for He has said, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Trust in Him, lean not on your own understanding, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up the nation of Venezuela to You. We ask that You break the chains of fear that grip the hearts of Your people. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in boldness and truth. We pray for the release of political prisoners and for justice to prevail in the land. Raise up leaders who will govern with righteousness and compassion. Protect those who stand for freedom and give them wisdom in their actions. May Your name be glorified in Venezuela, and may Your people experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
