We stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ, grieving the bloodshed and violence in ###. We join our faith with yours, praying for God's mercy and intervention in this dire situation.
Let us turn our hope to God in this time of tribulation and plead to Him for mercy. We are reminded in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (WEB), If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
We will fervently pray for God to raise intercessors who will stand in the gap for ###, pleading to the Lord for His divine intervention. As it says in Ezekiel 22:30 (WEB), I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. We pray that God will find many who will stand in the gap for ###, interceding for His mercy and protection.
We must also address the necessity of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, through which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB) and whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14, WEB)
Let us pray:
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, pleading for Your mercy and intervention in ###. Lord, the land is bleeding, the people are suffering, and we cry out to You for help. Raise up intercessors, Lord, who will stand in the gap for this land, praying for Your divine protection and intervention. Turn the hearts of the violent to You, Lord, and let Your peace reign in ###. Bring justice to the oppressed and healing to the hurting.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray for the salvation of the ### Muslims, and other perpetrators of violence. Encounter them with Your love and truth that will turn them away from their evil ways.
