Many Christians around the world know the horrors of being persecuted for their faith. They experience the tension of loving the enemy and also wanting to be freed from their suffering. This prayer uses the words of Psalms 79 as a prayer guide for when we’re suffering for our faith. Allow this to minister to you then share it with your friends and family. 

Prayer

Father, we Your people, have been handed over to the wicked because of our sin. Lord, I repent on behalf of Your church! Don’t abandon us forever! Vindicate us before our oppressors. Destroy them completely! If sins from the past have opened the door to the enemy, then shut that door. Position us so the world can see Your glory and power manifested in us! Hear our prayers; destroy our enemies and release our praise in Jesus name, the great and mighty warrior.

Psalms 79:1-13

O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble. They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild. They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead. We are objects of contempt to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us. How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland. Do not hold against us the sins of past generations; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need. Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants. May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die. Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord. Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will proclaim your praise.
