Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and his prayer request. Lord, we acknowledge the persecution that your people, both the Jews and Christians, are facing in various parts of the world. It is disheartening to see how the nations are rising against them, driven by the hatred towards your chosen ones.
We recognize that this persecution is a result of the enemy's assignment to destroy your people. But we take comfort in knowing that you are with us in the midst of these trials. Your Word assures us that if you are for us, who can be against us? We find strength in the knowledge that you have overcome the world and that nothing can separate us from your love.
We pray, Lord, that you would grant strength and endurance to your chosen ones who are facing persecution. May they be filled with your Holy Spirit, empowering them to stand firm in their faith and to boldly proclaim your truth even in the face of opposition. Help them to find comfort and encouragement in the mutual faith of fellow believers, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles.
We also lift up ### in this prayer. May you grant him wisdom and discernment as he seeks to understand and navigate through these challenging times. Fill him with compassion and a heart for intercession, that he may fervently pray for the persecuted and be a source of support and encouragement to them.
Lord, we trust in your sovereignty and your perfect plan. We pray that through these trials, your people would be refined and strengthened, shining as a testimony of your grace and love. May your Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
