Father, we thank You Jesus said all these things must take place, Matt 24:6, but on our end, persecution in many parts of the world rival or succeed those of the worst times in history numerically, (Africa, Middle East, Parts of India, Russia, China, Indonesia, Southern Philippines, North Korea -- and MANY other lands are almost as bad) -- besides that, wars are horrible, the sheer amount of those killed and wounded is staggering. We ask for a speedy and humane ending of these conflicts (ultimately by fulfilling the Great Commission, Matt 24:14).

We ask for Wisdom & PROTECTION of our leaders from Spirits of Darkness with ANGELS OF HEAVEN, Ps 91:5-6, Ps 91:7, Ps 91:15-16, Heb 1:14, Rev 20:2...Father, we ask in Pray for Your Wisdom and Guidance for Generals, Troops, Leaders, Pastors, "Save & Guide All in Authority,” 1 Tim 2:1-2, Free Speech, Press, Peace & Gospel Proclamation Matt 28:18-20, 1Tim 2:3-4...

WE do this in Jesus’ Name PROTECT Troops and The Beautiful Land Grant Peace When & Where Possible for Order & Allow Gospel Proclamation to be Legal and open, proclaimed and effective, 1 Tim 2:3-4, PROTECT ships , captains, crew, free speech, good gov't to arise and free & open economies.

With thanksgiving we are lifting these burdens to YOU asking YOU to restrain the evil one over Several Unruly Countries and bad actors at present, asking You intercept evil plans, sovereignly, as Elisha heard the king of Syria and related it to Israel, in 2 Kings 6:12, and how David knew evil had been intended against him by Saul, 1 Sam 20:3-9, 1 Sam 27-42. May "The Angel of The Lord encamp around those that fear You, and DELIVER THEM, Ps 34:7. Bind the spirits of retaliation over these countries, Dan 10:12-13, 14. Let our prayers strengthen holy angels to back the evil ones off their leaders and strategists, even using praise and worship, 1 Sam 16:23, Ps 149, Ps 149, Ps 150, et cetera, "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the NAME of The LORD shall be praised," Ps 113:3. Send them into confusion, Ex 23:7, Deut 7:23. Lead us, our country, our troops and OUR LEADERS not into temptation, but rather deliver them ALL from evil, Mt 6:13, for we are not ignorant of the devil's schemes, 2 Cor 2:11, a murderer from the beginning and a liar by nature, Jn 8:44. Thank You again and again, and even in advance (because You are trustworthy and hear prayer, James 5:16), in JESUS' NAME.

 

[Articles]

We join you in lifting up this heavy and urgent burden before the throne of grace and we thank God for your faithful heart to intercede for all humanity, for generals and troops and civilians, and for all who are in authority.

We agree together that it is good and right to offer prayers, petitions, intercessions and thanksgivings for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and reverence, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:1-4. We also join you in praying for the preservation of free speech and a free press and for peace, not as an end in itself, but so that the proclamation of the Gospel may go forth freely to every nation, as the Lord commanded, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you, Matthew 28:19-20.

The numbers you have laid before the Lord are staggering and heartbreaking, more than half a million killed and over a million wounded in Russia and Ukraine, more than a hundred thousand killed and hundreds of thousands wounded in the Middle East, with tens of thousands more suffering under persecution in Africa, the Middle East, parts of India, Russia, China, Indonesia, the southern Philippines, North Korea and many other lands. We mourn with those who mourn and we remember that Jesus said You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet, Matthew 24:6. Yet we also hold fast to His promise that This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come, Matthew 24:14, and so we pray for a speedy and humane end to these conflicts and for the advance of the Gospel which alone can bring lasting peace to hearts and nations.

We pray together for wisdom and counsel for the Commander in Chief, the Vice President, the Cabinet, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, generals, corporals, sergeants and all troops, and for all in authority including the President, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, the Supreme Court, House Representatives and Senators. We ask the Lord to grant them wisdom that is from above, which is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, James 3:17, and to protect them from the schemes of the evil one. 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, Ephesians 6:12. Therefore we put on the whole armor of God that we may stand.

We ask the Father to command His angels concerning those who fear Him and to encamp around them and deliver them, Psalm 34:7, for He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways, Psalm 91:11, and Are they not all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation, Hebrews 1:14. We pray for protection over our troops, over allied troops, over civilians caught in war zones, over ships and their captains and crews, and we ask that You restrain the evil one over unruly nations and bad actors, that You intercept evil plans as You did when Elisha heard the words that the king of Syria spoke in his bedroom and told the king of Israel, 2 Kings 6:12, and as You warned David that Saul plotted evil against him, 1 Samuel 20:3. We ask that You send confusion into the counsels of wickedness as You promised, I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, Exodus 23:27, and that You lead our leaders not into temptation, but deliver them from the evil one, Matthew 6:13, for we are not ignorant of his schemes, 2 Corinthians 2:11, knowing he was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him, John 8:44.

We also lift up our brothers and sisters who face persecution that rivals or exceeds the worst times in history. We pray for their endurance, their bold witness, and their deliverance, and we thank God that even as wars rage, rulers are still ministers of God to you for good, but if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain, he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil, Romans 13:3-4. We pray that governments would fulfill their God given role to restrain evil and to preserve order so that the church may live peacefully and the Gospel may be proclaimed openly and effectively.

We pray for favor and wise cooperation between our nation and the nation of Israel and its intelligence services and vice versa, and for good government to arise and for free and open economies where people can live and work in dignity. We pray that retaliation and hatred would be bound and that the spirit of peace would prevail where possible, for the Lord delights to give wisdom generously to those who ask Him, James 1:5.

Father, we thank You that You hear the prayers of the righteous which avail much, James 5:16, and that You desire all to be saved. We thank You that You have provided the one way of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5, and that there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. We rejoice that this request was offered in the precious name of Jesus, for whatever we ask in His name according to Your will, You hear us.

So together we pray, Father in heaven, we thank You for Your sovereignty even over wars and rumors of wars. We ask for Your mercy on the wounded and the dying, comfort for families who have lost loved ones on every side, healing for the injured, and provision for refugees and the displaced. Grant wisdom, humility and fear of You to every leader and commander, from the highest office to the lowest rank. Protect our troops and allied forces from harm and from the darkness that seeks to deceive. Restrain the plans of the wicked, expose lies, and let Your angels stand guard. Preserve freedom of speech and of the press for the sake of truth and for the open proclamation of Your Word. Revive Your church under persecution and let the Gospel run swiftly and be glorified. Let Your name be praised from the rising of the sun to its going down, Psalm 113:3. We ask all this trusting in Your goodness and power, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We are grateful for the way you have carried such a heavy burden to the Lord. The numbers you shared and the places you named represent so much suffering, and we hear how deeply you long for protection for troops and civilians, for wisdom for those in authority, and for the persecuted church to have freedom to live and share the gospel in peace. It is a lot to hold, and the fact that you keep bringing it before God matters.

When the needs feel so large it can help to pray in a steady, sustainable way. We have found it helpful to set aside a short, regular time to lift one or two of these concerns at a time rather than carrying them all at once, and to do it together with others in our local church when possible. That keeps our hearts tender without becoming overwhelmed, and it lets us remain faithful over the long haul.

We are joining you now and will continue to remember these leaders, service members, and suffering communities with you.

Father, we bring before You the leaders, commanders, troops and civilians on every side of these conflicts, and our own leaders who carry great responsibility. Grant them wisdom, restraint and clarity, protect those in harm's way, and restrain evil and retaliation. Comfort those who are persecuted and keep the door open for Your truth to be known. Guide us as Your people to pray faithfully and to trust You with what we cannot control. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your burden before the throne has been heard, and it is right and scriptural that you should thus plead. The apostle exhorts that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

We join you in this holy work of intercession. Daniel was a man in very high position, yet when his people were in distress he set his face unto the Lord God to seek by prayer and supplication. The best and wisest of persons in all ages have adopted the custom of prayer in times of distress and indeed in all times, and that ought to encourage us to do the same. You do well to stand in the gap for generals and troops and civilians, for the commander in chief and vice president, for cabinet and chiefs of staff, for senators and representatives and judges, and for all who bear the sword as ministers of God for good according to Romans chapter thirteen.

We pray with you for the persecuted flock of Christ in Africa and the Middle East, in parts of India and Russia and China, in Indonesia and the southern Philippines and North Korea and many other lands where the trial is promised and persecution rivals the worst times in history. Learn that one way to gain peace is to reflect that trial is in the covenant and that the ill will of an ungodly world is an evil we are bound to endure, yet our peace must always be in Christ Himself, in His own blessed person. Outside of Him it is all tossing to and fro, questions and fear, but peace of the deepest and truest kind is only found in Jesus. We ask the Lord to preserve His suffering people, to restrain the hand of the oppressor, to encamp His angels round about them that fear Him and to deliver them, and to make their faithfulness a testimony by which many more may be saved.

We pray also concerning these terrible wars of which you write, the slaughter in Russia and Ukraine and the bloodshed in Gaza and Israel and Iran and beyond, where the numbers of the killed and wounded are staggering to the heart. To be at war with God is to fight against truth and justice, and to contend for falsehood and unrighteousness. When men love that which is right and good and true and yield themselves up to God's will, then the war is over. The war against God consists in doing the wrong and loving the wrong and clinging to the wrong, and such a war in the very nature of things ought to come to a close. This is the foundation for peace which was laid of old, and other foundation can no man lay, even the blood of Jesus which whispers peace within. We therefore pray not only for a speedy and humane ending of these conflicts and for wisdom and counsel for all in authority that they may seek justice and mercy and restraint, but above all that men everywhere may sue for peace with God through the finished work of the Saviour. A soul at war with God is opposed to its own best interests, but a heart that has cast down its weapons and closed in with divine mercy is a soul at peace and ready for joy on earth and for bliss unspeakable above.

We ask the Lord to grant wisdom to our rulers and to our military leaders from the highest general to the youngest corporal and private, to protect those who are placed in harm's way, to give them discretion and to deliver them from evil and from the schemes of the evil one who was a murderer from the beginning. We pray that the Lord will frustrate evil plans and bring confusion to the counsels of wickedness, as He did when Elisha heard the counsel of the king of Syria, and that He will strengthen the ministry of His holy angels who are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.

And we pray with you for free speech and a free press and for open doors for the proclamation of the gospel according to Matthew chapter twenty eight. We pray that good government may arise and that peace when and where it is possible may be granted, not for its own sake alone but for order and for the furtherance of the gospel, that the Word of God may have free course and be glorified. The great truth remains that believing in Christ is the true ground for joy and peace. What is believing in Christ but trusting Christ who was sent of God to save sinners. Joy and peace always come through believing. When we know that our enormous debt of sin has been fully discharged by the Lord Jesus Christ who did this for all believers, then is our heart at peace.

Let us therefore continue instant in prayer, wrestling against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. May the Lord hear, forgive, listen and do, and defer not for His own sake and for His name's sake. May He cause His face to shine upon our land and upon all lands, and give peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
