MCUSA Pray First! Prayer Focus & World Partners
NOVEMBER PRAYER FOCUS
— PRAYING FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
PERSONAL REFLECTION — LOVE YOUR ENEMIES: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44).
- How do you respond when slighted, overlooked, or maligned because of your faith? Pray for grace to respond with love and not bitterness.
- Pray for those imprisoned for their faith that God will use them to touch the hearts of their captors.
- Pray for those who are living as refugees because they have been driven from their homes because of their faith. Pray for peace, grace, and God’s provision.
- Pray that amid the trials, God will give them grace, peace, and love for those who do not yet know Jesus.

Pray with us this week:
- Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
- Pray for our pastors as they share the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within them, giving them boldness and clarity as they speak. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through them.
- Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for all those who lost loved ones and those who are still hostages in Gaza. Pray for Israelis to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
- Pray for Ukrainian families suffering from the trauma of losing their homes and loved ones, and the many missionaries who are tending to both their spiritual and physical needs each day.
- For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
- Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
- Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share His love.
- Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
