A Prayer for Christians
Driven from Their Homes

The Central African Republic, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Laos, Nepal and southern Mexico are a few of the many countries where Christians are driven from their homes because of their faith in Christ. Some are kicked out of their homes and villages by their own families and communities, while others are driven out by Islamists trying to eradicate any Christian influence.

We encourage you to take a minute right now to pray for them.

Dear heavenly Father,

Our hearts break for our Christian brothers and sisters who experience the pain of persecution because of their faith. We ask that their every need be met according to your riches in mercy.

We pray that those who have lost their homes will find safe refuge and that those fleeing their persecutors will be welcomed by other members of your body. We pray that those who have lost loved ones will experience your comfort as they mourn. May you direct them to others who will weep with them and pray with them, encouraging their faith so that they will trust you more each day. We pray that they will experience physical and emotional healing as well as continued spiritual growth.

We pray, too, that those responsible for persecuting our brothers and sisters in Christ will repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Christ Jesus.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
