Intercession for persecuted believers

[Lik3]

How do I begin to pray for those persecuted in the world? I need to know how to intercede for others, including those who have been persecuted. I know that this should be in the Christian advice area, but since this is about persecution of Christians, will it be okay?

St. Therese's "little way" is a great way to go for large problems like this. To put it simply, you can't always do great things; sometimes, you just have to do small things with great love. https://www.littleflower.org/therese/reflections/st-therese-and-her-little-way/

For example, human trafficking is a great problem that I'm relatively powerless to change. Pray, of course, always pray. But I have a good friend who goes to Thailand & Greece to actively work against human trafficking with The Exodus Road, so what I can do to help end human trafficking comes down to being there for my friend that works against this.

Specifically for your request of aiding persecuted Christians, you may consider looking into organizations such as the Knights of Columbus that actively work to assist persecuted Christians worldwide. http://www.kofc.org/en/news/releases/kofc-fund-help-christians-iraq.html

God be with you & all of us.

Well, I think you just pray for them as if there was a loved family member that is being persecuted. You ask for their protectoin, for their blessings, for insight, discernment, healing and restoration where needed, freedom from prison where needed, peace, steadfast faith, to have the Word, and so on. I also pray for them to operate in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Of course this Forum has people to pray for. You can get more information from Opendoorsusa, Release International and Voice of the Martyrs. It is great you want to pray for them!
