With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and stay alert
in this, with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. (Eph 6:18)
As most of you know, we
had a time of fasting and prayer yesterday for our missionaries. I thought I would post the specific
requests that we prayed for last night as it might help guide your ongoing prayers
for them.
Those of you who attend
Providence regularly know who the people are and what the situation is, so for
security reasons, I’ll not include those details.
1) Pray that the convert
would stand firm in the faith.
2) Pray that the convert
would find ways to feast on the Word even though the Bible has been taken away.
3) Pray that the Holy Spirit
would continue to teach the convert while unable to be in fellowship with other
believers.
4) Pray that all that the
convert has learned would bear fruit.
5) Pray that the gospel
would bear fruit in the lives of the convert’s children as a result of this
persecution.
6) Pray for the
missionaries that they would process this biblically.
7) Pray for protection
over their marriage and family life in the midst of this stressful time.
8) Pray that the fruit of
the Spirit would be manifested in their lives as a result of this persecution.
9) Pray that the
missionaries would continually rest in God’s promises and trust Him with the
unknown.
10) Pray that they would
rest well.
11) Pray for all the
fellow saints throughout the world that they would remain steadfast under persecution.
12) Pray that God would
grant us to be willing to suffer for the gospel.
13) Pray that God would
exalt Himself through the spread of the gospel.
