friend, thank you for your commitment to pray for the persecuted. We’re so glad you’ve joined us to remember and lift up people who are under threat and still live their faith.

Here are some brief starting thoughts to help guide your time of prayer today.

Sample Prayers:

• For the Persecuted:
  "We lift up those who are persecuted for their beliefs and faith. We ask for protection and peace over their lives. May they experience your loving presence in the midst of suffering and find comfort in knowing they are not alone. We pray that their faith would remain strong and that they would be surrounded by communities of support."
• For the Displaced:
  "We pray for those who have been forced to leave their homes due to violence, disaster, or persecution. May they find safe shelter, receive the help they need, and feel the love of those who welcome them. Please restore their hope and provide them with the resources to rebuild their own lives with dignity."
• For the Rebuilding:
  "We ask for strength and wisdom for those who are rebuilding their homes and livelihoods after destruction by enemies of their faith. Give them the tools, resources, and opportunities to create a new future. May their efforts be fruitful, and may they experience peace as they restore what has been lost."
• For the Work of Shai Fund:
  "We pray for the work of Shai Fund, as they serve the displaced and the persecuted. May their efforts be guided by compassion, and may the lives they touch be transformed by the love and support they provide. We ask for protection over their workers and for the communities they help to experience lasting peace and security."

Thank you for committing to pray today. Use these prayers to guide your reflections, and remember those who are suffering. Together, we can lift up the voices of the persecuted, believing that prayer begins transformation.

Here at Shai Fund we will regularly communicate with you on updates on our work of crisis relief and then empowering the persecuted to rebuild their lives.
