HEAR OUR PRAYER
Jennie Lee Riddle, Todd Smith

We pray with the families whose loved ones have been abducted or martyred. God we ask that You would
strengthen, comfort, and embolden them in this hour. Please surround them with Your saints to help lift
and carry their burdens. Give them faith-filled intercessions and hear them according to 1 John 5: 14-15.
Give them the grace to forgive, so that they may be free from carrying the bondage of hatred. We stand
with them and acknowledge You, Jesus, as the One to whom every knee shall one day bow. We rejoice
with them in the knowledge that this world is not our home and that there will come a day when every tear
is wiped away. We look forward to that day along with them. Psalm 147:3, Matt 5:4, Matt 6:14-15, Luke
23:33-34, Acts 7:59-60, 1 Cor. 13:4-7, Phil 2:5-11, Heb 13:14, Rev. 21:4,
God, we hold up the persecutors before You now and ask that You would remember the persecutor, Saul.
Your mercy overcame Him and as You converted Him, You gave us Paul - a great gift to the Church. We
pray that those like Saul will come to know You, God, through the suffering of those they are persecuting.
We pray that complete transformation would occur by Your Spirit, and that they would be made willing to
suffer for the name of Jesus as laborers of Your Kingdom. Matt 5:43-48, Luke 6:27-28, Luke 23:33-34,
Acts 7:59-60
We pray for our brothers and sisters facing persecution. We know that You number our days. We
remember the way You opened prison doors for Your saints. We remember their song in the night. We
ask for Your mighty and full deliverance until the time of Your return. We remember the way You walked
through angry crowds until Your time had come. Like You, Jesus, when the time comes, we ask for Your
strength and courage to not give in or waver even if facing brutality or imprisonment. We pray that their
spirit would not be broken, their faith would stand strong, and that Your Holy Spirit would rise up in them.
Give them joy in their homegoing with no fear or shrinking back. Give them grace to finish well. We ask
for Your light to shine forth; and that Your name, Jesus, would be ever on the lips of Your saints. We pray
that the life they sow would yield a great harvest and reward. We praise You as The Way, The Truth, and
The Life. Matt 5:10-12, Matt 26:38-39, Luke 4:28-30, Luke 22:15, Jn 8:48-59, Jn 14:6, Jn 15:20-21, Jn
16:33, Jn 21:15-19, Acts 6:8-7:60, Acts 12:1-19, Acts 16:16-40, Eph 6:19-20 Col 4:2-4, Heb 10:32-34,
Heb 11:35-40, 1 Peter 4:13
We pray for the Church in America and around the world. We ask for faithfulness and resolve to stand
with those in persecution. We pray for revival. We confess our sin and ask You to forgive us. We
acknowledge that we have not been mindful of the hour in which we live. We have been selfish and blind.
Where we have claimed our lives are Yours, we have nevertheless lived them as our own. We humble
ourselves at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ. We ask for Your healing, power, and grace to obey. We
ask for unity. We stand with You, Jesus, and give our lives to You all over again. We ask for grace to live
well and die well, and that from the rising of the sun to it’s going down, we would be found faithful and You
would be ever praised. 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 51:10, James 4:6-10, 2 Tim 3:1-5, 1 John 1:9
We pray for those in places of authority and government and ask that You would embolden them to
protect innocent lives. That they would not be afraid to carry out holy and swift judgment to rout out evil.
We ask that You would give them clear eyes, super-natural wisdom, discernment, understanding, and
knowledge. Help them to embrace responsibility and act. We pray that the fear of You, the One True God
would keep them moving to decree, promote, and work righteousness. Psalm 146:5-7, Romans 13:1-4,
Hebrews 11:32-34, 1 Peter 2:13-14
