Dear Heavenly Father, Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing violence, persecution, and loss of life. Your Word says, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26). Today, we stand with them in prayer. Lord, be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Surround them with Your angels, protect their families, and comfort those who mourn. Give them courage to hold fast to their faith, even in the midst of darkness. Remind them of Jesus’ promise: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10). We ask that justice will prevail, that peace will come to their land, and that those who persecute will be transformed by the power of Your love. We declare Psalm 91 over them — that no evil shall befall them and no plague come near their dwelling. May Your Holy Spirit dwell richly in their homes, filling them with hope, peace, and strength. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen. 🙏
