We stand with you in prayer, fighting the good fight of faith and interceding for the beloved saints of God. We are reminded in Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your beloved saints who are facing persecution and battles. We stand in the gap, calling upon Your strength, wisdom, guidance, direction, and protection to cover them.
Father, You are our refuge and our fortress, our God in whom we trust. We ask that You deliver them from the evil one and bring them to a place of peace and safety. We rebuke the devil and his schemes, for it is written in James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Lord, we ask for Your mighty black covering of protection over Your saints, that they may stand firm in their faith and continue to praise Your name, even in the midst of trials. We pray that they would be strong in You, and in the power of Your might, as stated in Ephesians 6:10.
Father, we also pray for those who are persecuting Your saints, that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," and we ask for Your grace to enable us to do so.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for being faithful to Your promises. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and to continue to trust in the Lord. Remember the words of Paul in Romans 8:37, "No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
Take heart, for the Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Keep fighting the good fight, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Father we ask a special blessing on the person who submitted this request in the name of Jesus Christ as they have acknowledged that it is only in His name we have access to you.
