Lord, I pray for every Christian who is on the Jihadist's kill list. May they "Abide under the shadow of the Almighty" May your angels protect them from all harm. May they know how to 'put on the whole armour of God that can bring them both physical and spiritual protection. Give them wisdom and discernment as they go about their daily routine and block every attempt of the enemy to bring death and destruction.
Lord I pray today for the three Azerbaijani Christians who have been detained for more than a month in Iran. I pray for Eldar Gurbanov, 48, Yusif Farhadov, 51, and Bahram Nasibov, 37 who were arrested on 24 June at an engagement party in Tehran without charges being filed against them. May they be allowed access to a lawyer and may they soon be released and reunited with their families. Be with them during this distressing time and may they and their families know your comfort and strength.
