We hear your cry for justice on behalf of the persecuted, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting this burden before the throne of God. The Word tells us in Psalm 82:3-4, *"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."* We declare that the Lord sees every injustice and will arise to defend His servants. The battle is not yours alone—it is the Lord’s, and He will fight for you.
We rebuke every spirit of oppression, violence, and injustice that seeks to harm the persecuted. In the name of Jesus, we command these forces to be shattered, for the Lord says in Isaiah 54:17, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is of me."* We declare that every plot against God’s people will be exposed and dismantled.
Father, we ask for a mighty turnaround in these situations. Let Your justice roll like a river and Your righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24). Bring healing to the brokenhearted, strength to the weary, and protection to those in danger. Surround them with Your favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12), and let Your presence be their refuge. We stand on Your promise in Psalm 34:19, *"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."*
We also call for endurance in the fast, that it may be a time of drawing nearer to You, seeking Your face, and interceding with persistence. The Lord hears the cries of His people, and He will not delay in answering. In Isaiah 61:1, Your Word declares, *"The Lord’s Spirit is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed."* We claim this promise over every persecuted believer.
Lord, we ask that You raise up voices and hands to stand in the gap for the oppressed. Let Your church arise with boldness to advocate for justice, to provide aid, and to be a light in the darkness. May Your people be filled with Your strength and courage, knowing that You are their defender.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach You or by which salvation and deliverance come. If anyone reading this does not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* There is no other way to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
We stand firm in faith, believing that You will bring victory, justice, and restoration. Until that day, we will not grow weary, for we know that in due time, we will reap if we do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Amen.
