In looking for a way to beginning to fight on the behalf of the spiritual church, I thought what I can do that can make a difference before I even know about who needs encouragement - before I have really begun. The answer I found was to pray for the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
As a believer in Christ Jesus whose sins are covered in grace, I am also righteous by grace as I stand before the Father in Heaven. So, I will begin with prayers.
My first hope and prayer is for God's protection. He knows each and everyone of you who needs His presence and touch right now. He knows each person who is without a hope in the world but for Him and His promises. Praise God, that He knows each and everyone of the hairs on your head and you matter to Him. He has not forgotten you. And because I am confident that He cares deeply about what happens to you, I pray that He, in His mercy, will set you free from your oppression. May those who persecute you find themselves blind as the search for your hiding spaces. May those who beat you find themselves without strength, without the power or cruelty needed to do the job - may they too be filled with mercy as the see the light that shines within you despite your circumstances. May those who rejected you and shunned you give favor upon you that they can't explain - even if they think that it is for their own advancement to do so. May travel be protected, and unquestioned as you seek to flee your home. May you have courage and strength to face the attacks of the kingdom of darkness without flinching - ever praising the Holy Name of Jesus Christ with your lips. May the deceiver find that he does not have what it takes to sift you like wheat for you as the Children of Heaven have greater authority than he as heirs to Christ. May the knowledge of depth and breadth of God's love for you be secure in your hearts as well as the hope you have because of what God did for us on the cross through Jesus Christ. May the words of the Holy Spirit be clear in your hearts, guiding you and directing you to where you need to go and who to talk to. May you be keen to do as he directs, growing constantly in discernment as to the voice of the Holy Spirit. May you pray in strength with confidence and faith that it will be as you ask the Lord. May your physical pain be removed and healed - The Lord's Kingdom com and Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. May the Father's Will be yours and may you seek Him with all your heart. May the Light of Jesus spread wherever your feet take you so though they send you from your homes because of the Truth you believe in, it will be counter-productive to their goals because you will not stop speaking the Name of Jesus just as Peter and the apostles did when brought before the Sanhedrin. May you have your daily bread and may you forgive those who sin against you as our Father forgives you for your sins - freely and with a loving heart.
In the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
