Pray for the Relief of Suffering Churches and Persecuted Christians

Intercession 5.7 | NASB

For the relief of suffering churches and the support, comfort, and deliverance of all who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.

I desire in my prayers to remember those who are in prison for the testimony of Jesus, as in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since I too am in the body. Hebrews 13:3(NASB) O send from on high and deliver them from those who hate them, Psalm 18:16-17(NASB) and bring them forth into a broad place. Psalm 18:19(NASB)

O let not the scepter of wickedness rest upon the land of the righteous, lest the righteous should put forth their hands to do wrong. Psalm 125:3(NASB)

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake as in the days of old, as in the generations of long ago, and make the depths of the sea a pathway for the redeemed of the Lord to cross over. Isaiah 51:9-10(NASB)

Because of the devastation of the afflicted and the groaning of the needy, arise now, O LORD, and set them in the safety for which they long. Psalm 12:5(NASB)

O strengthen the perseverance and faith of Your suffering saints, Revelation 13:10(NASB) that they may wait silently for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:26(NASB)

O let the year of Your redemption come, Isaiah 63:4(NASB) and the year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Isaiah 34:8(NASB)

O that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion; and when the LORD restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad. Psalm 14:7(NASB)

O let not the oppressed return dishonored, but let the afflicted and needy praise Your name. Psalm 74:21(NASB)

Lord, arise and have compassion on Zion, and let the time to be gracious to her, yes, the appointed time, come; Psalm 102:13(NASB) yes, let the LORD build up Zion and appear in His glory. Lord, regard the prayer of the destitute and do not despise their prayer. Psalm 102:16-17(NASB)

O Lord GOD, please stop: How can Jacob stand, for he is small? Amos 7:5(NASB) O let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary, for Your sake, O Lord. Daniel 9:17(NASB)

Let the groaning of the prisoners come before You, and according to the greatness of Your power preserve those who for Your name’s sake are doomed to die. Psalm 79:11(NASB)

Let those whose teachers have been removed, again see their teachers, though they have the bread of privation and the water of oppression. Isaiah 30:20(NASB)

Pray for the Defeat of the Enemies of the Church

Intercession 5.6 | NASB

For the breaking of the power of all the enemies of the church and the defeating of all their designs against her.

Let all who take their stand and take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed, who would tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from them, devise a vain thing. Let Him who sits in the heavens laugh at them and scoff at them; speak to them in Your anger and terrify them in Your fury. Psalm 2:1-5(NASB) Give them, O LORD, what You will give them; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. Hosea 9:14(NASB)

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind; Psalm 83:13(NASB) fill their faces with dishonor, that they may seek Your name, O LORD, Psalm 83:16(NASB) and that they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18(NASB)

Put them in fear, O LORD, that the nations may know that they are but men. Psalm 9:20(NASB) And wherein the proud enemies of Your church deal proudly, make it to appear that You are above them. Exodus 18:11(NASB)

May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward; let them be like grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up. Psalm 129:5-6(NASB)

Let no weapon formed against Your church prosper, and let every tongue that accuses it in judgment be condemned. Isaiah 54:17(NASB)

Make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples, and let all who lift it be severely injured, though all the nations of the earth should be gathered against it; Zechariah 12:3(NASB) so let all Your enemies perish, O LORD, but let those who love You be like the rising of the sun in its might. Judges 5:31(NASB)

Lord, let the man of lawlessness be slain with the breath of Your mouth and brought to an end by the appearance of Your coming: 2 Thessalonians 2:8(NASB) And let those be undeceived who have long been under the power of deluding influences to believe what is false, and let them receive the love of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11(NASB)

Let Babylon fall and sink like a millstone into the sea; Revelation 18:21(NASB) and let the kings of the earth who have given their kingdom and honor to the beast, Revelation 17:17(NASB) be wrought upon at length to bring them into the new Jerusalem. Revelation 21:26(NASB)

Pray for the Health, Purity, and Holiness of the Church

Intercession 5.5 | NASB

For the amending of everything that is amiss in the church, the reviving of primitive Christianity and the power of godliness, and, to that end, the pouring out of the Spirit.

Lord, let Your Spirit be poured out upon Your churches from on high, and then the wilderness will become a fruitful field; Isaiah 32:15(NASB) then judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Psalm 94:15(NASB)

Let what remains be set in order, Titus 1:5(NASB) and let every plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting be uprooted. Matthew 15:13(NASB)

Let the Lord whom I seek come to His temple like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap, and let Him purify the sons of Levi and all the seed of Israel, and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness, pleasing offerings to the LORD as in the days of old, as in former years. Malachi 3:2-4(NASB)

Let pure and undefiled religion in the sight of my God and Father, flourish and prevail everywhere: James 1:27(NASB) that kingdom of God among men, which is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17(NASB) O revive this work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; Habakkuk 3:2(NASB) and let these times be times of reformation. Hebrews 9:10(NASB)
