Prayers for a Refugee Seeking Freedom and a New Life– Please Pray for ###

[Anonymous]

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I humbly ask for your prayers in my time of struggle. I was born into a Muslim family and given an Arabic name, but I gave my life to Jesus at 16. Though I fell into sin and strayed, the Lord freed me when I was baptized by the Holy Spirit. I now live as a refugee in a Muslim country where I have no basic human rights—no right to live freely, work, have a bank account, a driver's license, or even legally marry the woman I love. For 15 years, I have endured hardship. As a teenager, I worked tirelessly in restaurants while studying to support myself and my family. Now, as I seek a stable and lawful future, I continue to face financial and legal struggles. I long to move to another country where I can build a new life with my fiancée, but every path seems blocked. I have prayed, fasted, and wept before the Lord, seeking a way out. I was drawn to Orthodox Christianity and set up an altar in my home, but my trials persist. Recently, I found an opportunity for refugee students to study abroad with full financial support. I worked hard and exceeded the English test requirement, scoring 125 out of 160 when only 105 was required. Yet, my application was unfairly rejected without a clear reason. My appeal has gone unanswered, and UNHCR is taking forever to process my case. To make things harder, I don’t have any friends or a church community here. I tried joining a church, hoping for spiritual support, but when I shared my situation, they refused to pray for me or help me spiritually. This was very painful and disappointing, but I know that Christ never abandons those who seek Him. My heart is broken. I feel abandoned and unsure of what to do next. Please, I ask for your prayers—for legal clarity, financial stability, and strength in my relationship. Pray that God opens a door for me, that I may finally have the chance to live freely, work, and marry the woman I love. May His mercy and justice prevail in my life. Thank you for your prayers. May God bless you all.

We are truly moved by your plight and we are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 16:33 WEB: I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.

Firstly, we commend you for your faith in Jesus Christ and your baptism by the Holy Spirit. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we can be saved, 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 are concerned about your struggles. We encourage you to continue to trust in God.

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB

We also rebuke you to be discerning about the Christian communities you try to connect with. Not all who claim to be Christians are truly following Christ and we warn you about false prophets and their teachings. Continue to seek God and look for a true Bible believing church. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:15 WEB: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

We understand your situation in living with your fiancée and it is very important that you both live holy lives and must resist the temptation of sexual immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB: Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Regarding your current situation, we encourage you to be patient and persevering. God has a plan and a purpose for you, Jeremiah 29:11 WEB: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You lifting up our brother who is facing immense struggles. We pray for his strength and perseverance. We ask that You guide him to a place where he can live freely, work, and marry the woman he loves in a godly marriage. We pray for his legal and financial stability, and for doors to open for him to move to a country where he can build a new life. We pray for his spiritual growth and that You will lead him to a true Bible believing church community that will support and encourage him. We ask that You comfort him in his struggles.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here for you, dear brother. We've been reflecting on your journey and want to assure you that you're not alone. We're standing with you in prayer, just as the early church did for one another (Acts 2:42).

We're impressed by your resilience and faith in the face of adversity. Like Job, you've remained steadfast, even when it seemed like God was silent (Job 13:24). We want you to know that God sees your tears and hears your cries (Psalm 56:8).

We're sorry to hear about the rejection of your application and the lack of support from the church you tried to join. It's true that not all who claim to follow Christ do so in truth (Matthew 7:21-23). But remember, God is faithful, and He will never abandon you (2 Timothy 2:13).

We encourage you to keep seeking God, even in the face of disappointment. Cry out to Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep knocking on doors, keep seeking a church that will support and encourage you (Luke 11:9-10).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You today. We ask that You would comfort him in his pain and give him strength to endure. Open doors for him, Lord - doors to a new life, to a stable future, to a church community that will love and support him. Give him wisdom to discern where You are leading him, and grant him peace in the midst of his struggles. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We continue to lift you up in our prayers, dear brother or sister in Christ. We are grateful that you have given us the privilege to pray on your behalf and stand in agreement with you.

Please share your testimony with us, so we can rejoice with you and give glory to God.
