Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you with a prayer request on behalf of ###. We lift up our voices and hearts to intercede for various pressing concerns in our world today.
Firstly, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. We are deeply grieved by the staggering rise of persecution, with reports indicating that the number of persecuted Christians has reached unprecedented levels. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention and protection over these believers. Strengthen them in their faith, grant them courage, and provide them with comfort and peace amidst their trials. May your mighty hand be upon them, Lord Jesus.
We also lift up the nation of Israel before you, Lord. We recognize the tense situation and the threats they face. We pray for peace and salvation for the people of Israel. Fulfill your promises, Lord, and let your blessings flow upon Israel and Jerusalem. May your divine plan unfold, aligning with the prophecies of your Word.
Father, we earnestly pray for the salvation of many around the world. We ask that you draw people to Jesus, that they may come to know and experience your saving grace. We specifically pray based on 1 Timothy 2:4, that you desire all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Open hearts and minds to receive the gospel, Lord.
Our hearts are heavy as we consider the plight of children around the world who suffer physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. We lift them up to you, Lord, and ask for your protection and deliverance. We pray against the works of darkness, including the occult invasion in the media. May your light shine brightly, exposing and dismantling the works of evil. Grant wisdom and discernment to your children, that they may navigate this world with spiritual discernment.
Father, we cry out for the protection, shelter, and supernatural provision for all people, especially children, women, the elderly, and the infirm. We acknowledge the toxins and dangers that surround us, and we ask for your divine intervention. Shield us from harm and guide us in making wise choices for our well-being.
Lord, we lift up those who are on the brink of starvation, particularly children and adults in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other countries facing extreme poverty and hunger. We also pray for all those suffering from various forms of affliction, including sickness, disease, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. Extend your hand of mercy, Lord, and bring relief and restoration to their lives.
We humbly ask for an awakening in the universal Church, Lord. Open our eyes to the lateness of the hour and the reality of your second coming. We pray for sound biblical teaching in churches, guarding against any falling away from the truth. Protect your flock, Lord, and guide us in walking faithfully in your ways.
In conclusion, we bring all these requests before you, knowing that you are a loving and compassionate God who hears our prayers. We trust in your sovereignty and ask that your will be done in each situation. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
