Dear Lord You are great and mighty to save, your power knows no limits, your grace no bounds, your mercies are new every morning and your love for Your children unending. You have said that if we come believing and asking in Jesus name and for His glory You will hear our prayers and act on behalf of the poor, the prisoner and the widow who are already on Your heart. Show forth Your mighty power over those in authority in Pakistan, judges, politicians and religious leaders so that justice will be upheld and outworked for our brother and your son Qamar David. May You annoint with the spirit of wisdom his lawyer Parvez Choudry that as at the trial of Stephen no one could stand up against his wisdom and the spirit by whom he spoke and may you protect them both along with their families showing clearly to those who stand against you that there is a distinction between your people and all others who do not worship the one and true living God as You did in Egypt before. May the the name of Jesus be held in high esteem and His glory be revealed in the generosity and grace of all Christians in that land so that by their love for their Lord and for their fellow countrymen hearts will be melted and the hatred stemmed. We ask this in Jesus name and for His glory to be made known in Pakistan.

Prisoner of Conscience They took me as a prisoner, for worshipping my Lord. They told me to deny Christ, to say He was a fraud. But I know my Christian duty, is to love and serve my God. To care for all His people, to tread the path He trod. Jesus preached of just redemption, for our sins was sacrificed. But those who do revile Him, propound hatred of Jesus Christ. I languish here not knowing, if I'm to live or die. Will they torture and torment me, the world has passed me by. Pray give me Lord Your answer, just how will this end? But Jesus made a promise, this message He does send. "Be good to those who hate you, when you're one of Mine. For first they hated Me, but you have done no crime. Stand firm in faith My child, as for you the Christian prays. I love you forever, I am with you all your days." Amen. Cjs.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all those in the world suffering persecution in the name of Christ and in the cause of righteousness; I pray to you our loving God and Father to strengthen and bless them as they are all martyrs and guiding lights in a darkened world - so that the living of Faith in Christ and His message of salvation may come to those who do not know or love Him. I pray for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma, - that she may be released and for all the ethnic minority groups suffering under a brutal regime and ask that the grace of God may enter their hearts and they may show mercy to those they persecute. In your loving mercy O Lord hear our prayer.

Praise be to God who shows us our mistakes! In our Christian walk we may make mistakes but we should not hearken to them, but turn to joy of what the Father has shown us. Yes, God has shown to us our mistakes during our Christian walk, and He will always correct us for them! Please, God correct the mistakes of the sinners for tresspassing against your Children. Dearly hold true to your heart and provide for them. A sinner is blind and a sinner holds vengeance against a sinner. The God of nations will hold vengeance against His enemies. Although, God may be a God of vengeance He prefers to be the God of Love - who relents from sending calamity. Apparently He is a God who loves both the wicked and the righteous. A sinner wants to hurt a sinner, but a Christian wants to love a sinner. For God loves all sinners! Praise be to Jesus, Amen.

Lord God, May your Holy Spirit guide those who remain persecuted across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. There are a lot of people who despise them because of their witness to Christ. While your people face opposition please remember how you saved, protected, and led the Early Church in the NT. Apostles Paul and Peter both escaped prison in order to preach the Gospel. Also, the apostle Paul was onced imprisoned in order to preach about Christ. So, there will always be Christians who leave prison while there are those who are in prison in order to preach the Gospel. So, You have always provided for them wherever they are. There was never one true Christian who abandoned his faith in Christ. Please, the world today still holds great Christians like the Early Christians. Please, remember how you loved and cherished the Early Church, so you will always love the current Church. You and I know that you will NEVER abandon your people because You said, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you, (NKJV Isaiah 43:2)." My God, my King there was never a flood that will overwhelm our love for you, nor fire that will intimidate our longing for you. Oh, how deep our longing is for you! Because, of the blood of Christ we were made to love you with our entire being. My Jesus, sweet Jesus you never stopped loving us. Please, let us do the same, that our love for you will overcome any difficult situation. In Jesus' Name Amen.
29/07/09 United States

Father God, We bring before you our heartfelt concerns for our brothers and sisters in Bauchi State in central Nigeria. Many of the christians have been attacked, had their homes and businesses razed to the ground and some have been killed. This was due to minor situations and misunderstandings with the muslim population in the area. 1,500 christians have sought refuge in army & police barracks where there are humanitarian needs. Father we pray for justice in the area and that the state government would share your concern for justice, representing all the religious communities fairly and take steps to ensure the safety of the christian community and that the elected authorities would not remain silent when innocent people are killed in Bauchi. Father,we also pray that the state government would care about justice and draft sufficient troops into the areas where there is violence to help bring safety to the christian community and to the other religious communities who want to peacefully co-exist. Father we pray that these changes would come soon and that You would comfort and encourage the christians. Please give them your peace everyday and strengthen them in their faith in Jesus. Please let the christian communities and churches be like a bright lamp, shining in the darkness and attracting others to Jesus.
