“This pain is like childbirth, it comes with distress, but we pray for it to bring life and freedom soon...Please keep praying, people here need hope.”
After a prolonged time of total communication blackout, some Iranians are now managing to speak with their relatives and friends. “It was such a relief to finally hear the voices of our sisters and brothers after nine days of silence,” shares an Open Doors partner who recently managed to have brief calls with some people in Iran. “Praise the Lord, they are safe.”
Economic hardship is affecting Iranians across the country...But the protests and the harsh crackdown that followed have made the situation far worse. Many people have lost their livelihoods, and in some families the main provider has been arrested or killed.
* Pray for the children of Iran. God’s Word tells us that ‘Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.’ (Psalm 127:3) Pray for protection from violence, from fear and from being used in any way that puts them in harm’s path.
* Pray for protection over Christians in detention, especially in places like Evin Prison and other facilities where conditions are worsening. Ask God to protect them physically, emotionally and spiritually.
* Pray for wisdom and courage for believers facing fear, displacement and uncertainty in their daily life.
* Pray for healing for the nation, for an end to violence and for lasting peace. Pray for the country’s leadership. May God raise just, compassionate leaders and protect the country from further harm and bloodshed, along with the entire Middle East region.
* Pray that the light of Christ would shine through the darkness, bringing hope and transformation to Iranian communities.
