Praying for those who persecute you
We all experience times in our lives when we are persecuted by our family members, friends, colleagues, bosses and others. Even though this persecution may persist for a long time, instead of retaliating as they expect and want you to, take it to the Lord in prayer. Let Him fight your battles for you. This prayer can be used daily as you surrender all to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Prayer
Dear God, the Alpha and the Omega, I thank you for being by my side when, for no reason, they persecute me. Lord, it hurts so much when I am abused, accused and condemned. They bring all manner of falsehoods against me.
But in the midst of it all, I know that you will preserve me. I will arise stronger and better, because you are on my side. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. You, Lord, are all powerful and almighty. And despite the situation I’m in, I place my trust in you.
All things work for good for those that love the Lord, are your assuring words. Continually speak your assurances into my heart and fill me with your peace that passes all understanding. For Lord, I cry out to you today! Nothing is too difficult for you.
Leviticus 19:18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Release the burden when persecuted
Sometimes it’s so hard, it’s a struggle to cope. But I use this opportunity now to release this burden unto you, oh Lord.
Take me and carry me in your arms. Bring me through it all safely. Pay attention to my prayer, for my enemies insult me all day, and they use my name for a curse word. But I choose to stand in your glory. I will not be moved!
Lord I cry out to you today! Nothing is too difficult for you. Click To TweetLuke 6:27-28 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
Proverbs 24:29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.
For all who are persecuted, the Lord brings justice
Your word says that for all who are persecuted, the Lord brings justice. But Heavenly Father, please forgive them, because they truly do not understand what they are doing, and they don’t know what it is to be a child of the Living God.
Don’t let your wrath fall upon them. Despite what they attempt to do to me, Lord, bring them back one day in repentance for their evil.
As you did with Joseph, lift me up on high. In the meanwhile, shield my thoughts with your peace, comfort my soul with your love. Dry my tears. I praise and thank you for everything, in Jesus name, AMEN!
Heavenly Father, shield my thoughts with your peace, comfort my soul with your love. Click To TweetRomans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

17 Oct 2016Dear One, I stand firm in prayer with you today……
“Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven”,
Matthew 18:20
Once you put your life in God’s hands, nobody can snatch you out. Every aspect of your life is in his hands.
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD”. Isaiah 54:17

11 Oct 2016I am praying and standing in faith as I grow closer to Jesus during a time of slander. I pray for my enemies that are slandering and maligning my name and reputation. I pray for strength courage and I pray for the person who is doing this and pray for that person to know Jesus and his love. I pray for the people around this person to be protected and take courage. I pray that this persons words would not hurt my work career or efforts and most of all I PRAY THAT THIS IS IN GOD’s ALMIGHTY HANDS! Amen!

25 Sep 2016Dearest God of all comfort, for those who are tortured both in body and mind, give them the grace to endure and experience and know love, joy and peace from God. Amen. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior is one of the most important things you will do on this Earth. Please do not avoid it because of the fear of persecution.
