A prayer for the persecuted church;

Dear Heavenly Father; Adonai; El Shaddai; King of the universe:

How marvelous you are! How beautiful are your ways! How incredible is the work of your hands! How silly are we when we don’t see your amazing creation, and bless you with every breath that we take…

We humbly come before you and thank you with all our hearts, for allowing us, through the blood of the Lamb, to seek your holy face!

We want to bring before you our beloved brothers and sisters around the world, who bravely bear the Cross, despite opposition, oppression, and even danger. We want to pray on their behalf, and stand with them here, and now.

Pray for the persecuted church


We pray that you will fill them with your Holy Presence, and let them know that you are always with them. Send them the Comforter, so they can be comforted in their sorrows and pains. Encourage them to stay strong and faithful, remembering the promise in Revelations 3:21: ”To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne”.

Let them know how proud you are of them; how proud we are of them, for they “endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Timothy 2:10); that they are beacons to a dark world; warriors in perilous battlefields; workers in hostile fields.

Fill them with your love, so they can endure all, and take up the whole armor of God, that they may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand… (Ephesians 6), after having run the race, faithfully, for Jesus’s sake.

We pray for showers of blessings to come upon them, so the enemy will see how you deliver them from evil and anoint their heads with oil, after having set a table for them, as you promised through the Psalms of King David of Israel; and they will be amazed and worship your holy name!

Hallelujah, to the Lamb of God, who made us a worthy nation of priests, so we can come before you, and praise your precious name, Yahowah, by the power of the blood of Yeshua, Jesus, by whose name we pray! Amen!
