Father God,
You are a God of comfort and the Father of all compassion. Your arm is
never too short to save, and You are mighty to deliver Your people who
rest in the shadow of Your wings. Your glory and power are magnified as
You fight for Your people who live in the midst of great oppression.
Glory and thanks to You through Jesus for every act of mercy and grace
shown to Your beloved who are living in
the midst of great persecution in Egypt. May You place a firewall of
protection around the men, women, and children who are suffering for the
namesake of Christ and lead them to safety. May You comfort those who
have lost loved ones and shield the eyes and hearts of the children from
the trauma of the violent acts that have taken place. May You heal
their wounded bodies and hearts, strengthening them in the Lord. May You
strengthen them with hope in their inner beings by the Spirit,
persevere their faith in Jesus, and grant them the gift of an eternal
perspective of their temporal trials. May Your grace, love, and peace,
and the grace, love, and peace of Jesus be magnified in their hearts,
and may the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with them. May You
intervene on their behalf and overcome the evil forces in their midst.
May the power, light and love of Jesus Christ penetrate hearts and shine
brightly in their midst, to the praise of Your glory and the glory of
the powerful Name of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Prayer: Middle East Conflict
Father God,
Nothing is hidden from Your eyes. You see the present trials of Your beloved people who live in this present evil age, yet You view all within the context of eternity. In perfect wisdom and enduring faithfulness, You uphold and strengthen Your people in the Lord to endure. Your peace surpasses all understanding. Your grace is abounding and glorious. And Your eternal power and purposes cannot be thwarted. You are the shade on the right hand of Your sons and daughters, and You are the Rock that cannot be shaken. You intervene in power, and every glimpse of Your glory and tender compassion refreshes the hearts of all who take refuge in You. Thank You for the work that You are accomplishing in Syria in the midst of great oppression. Thank You for all whom You are turning to Jesus that they may be sanctified by faith in Him and receive the gift of eternal life in Your kingdom of glory. May You fan the flames of the Spirit’s power and gifts in Christ’s servants and give them boldness and courage to stand firm in the grace, love, and truth of Jesus. May You take captive all panic and fear, and may you grant courage to Your beloved in the midst of their suffering and trials. May they pray without ceasing and believe without wavering. May You gather Your own to rest in Your secure refuge, and may You give them a song of praise in their hearts to keep their minds, hearts, and eyes focused on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of their faith. Father, may You cause the Iron Dome in Israel to effectively intercept attacks on Israeli citizens, and may You grant wisdom to the Israeli leaders to act in the best interests of Your people in Your perfect time and strength. May You shield Your people who trust in You and may Your glory be revealed in their midst. May Your glory and the glory of Christ be revealed in the midst of all of the events taking place in the Middle East, and may many turn to You in hope and be sanctified by faith in Jesus. Your blessing be upon Your people who earnestly seek You, who are beloved in You and kept for Jesus.
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen.
