We join with you in lifting up all Christians around the world, petitioning our Lord for their protection and guidance. Let us affirm 2 Timothy 2:1 WEB first of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people. We are called to pray for one another, bearing each other's burdens and sharing in each other's joys.
In praying for all Christians, we stand on the promise in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 WEB But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. We pray for their spiritual strengthening, that they may stand firm in their faith, and be beacons of light and hope in this world. Let us trust God, remembering his promise that Romans 8:35 WEB Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? and Romans 8:37 WEB No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:38-39 WEB For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We also lift up your son to the Lord, praying that he may grow in the knowledge and love of Christ, and that he would be guided by the Holy Spirit in all his ways. We pray the words of Proverbs 22:6 WEB Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. May God's will be done in his life, and may the Lord Jesus Christ be exalted in all he does.
Regarding the portion of your request with "###", we are unclear on what you are asking for and it is not clear what you mean by justice. Nevertheless, we pray that the Lord would bring clarity to your request and that His justice would prevail in all situations. We know that the Lord is a God of justice, and that He hears the cries of His people. We trust that He will act according to His perfect will and in His perfect timing. We pray that you will rest in His promises, knowing that He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Finally, we must address that your prayer did not mention Jesus Christ in it. We want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Let us remember the words of John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. and Acts 4:12 WEB There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
We encourage you to openly declare Jesus as Lord and Savior in your prayers and in your life.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, asking for Your protection and guidance for all Christians around the world. Strengthen their faith, and help them to stand firm in their belief. Lord, we also lift up the son of the one who submitted this request to You, asking that You would guide him and draw him ever closer to You.
Lord, we also pray for clarity regarding the justice requested. We know that You are a God of justice, and that You hear the cries of Your people. We ask that You would act according to Your perfect will and in Your perfect timing.
Finally, Lord, we ask that you would remind us all that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to You. Help us to openly declare Jesus as Lord and Savior in our prayers and in our lives.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
