~ Rick Warren
Prayer for Hope and Trust
Father, sometimes it does feel that you have left us in the battle. We know that you are with us, but so are our feelings of aloneness. The Enemy seems to be taking ground.

~ Ron Moore
Short Prayer for Thankfulness

~ Wendy van Eyck

为逃避迫害的祈祷， Psalm 69， 请注意这是旧约的原文，New International Version， 其中有 以色列 字样，一些朋友可能会说我为什么要用犹太的经文祈祷， 介意的就不要看下去了。
1
Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.
2
I sink in the miry depths,
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3
I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.
4
Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
5
You, God, know my folly;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
6
Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me.
7
For I endure scorn for your sake,
and shame covers my face.
8
I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;
9
for zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10
When I weep and fast,
I must endure scorn;
11
when I put on sackcloth,
people make sport of me.
12
Those who sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.
13
But I pray to you, Lord,
in the time of your favor;
in your great love, O God,
answer me with your sure salvation.
14
Rescue me from the mire,
do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
from the deep waters.
15
Do not let the floodwaters engulf me
or the depths swallow me up
or the pit close its mouth over me.
16
Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;
in your great mercy turn to me.
17
Do not hide your face from your servant;
answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18
Come near and rescue me;
deliver me because of my foes.
19
You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
20
Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found none.
21
They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22
May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and[b] a trap.
23
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.
24
Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
25
May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26
For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27
Charge them with crime upon crime;
do not let them share in your salvation.
28
May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous.
29
But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.
30
I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31
This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
32
The poor will see and be glad—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!
33
The Lord hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
34
Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that move in them,
35
for God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah.
Then people will settle there and possess it;
36
the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.

这是五份为被迫害者祈祷的诗， 来源是： Prayers-for-the-Persecuted
For The Children Of Persecuted Christians - 为受害者的孩子祈祷
Oh Lord, we bring before You all persecuted Christians in so many parts of the world, and we particularly lift up their children, knowing that children can be so abused and ill-treated and used as pawns to cause their parents to falter in their faith.
Guard and protect all these little ones. Keep each one from any long-term psychological harm, emotional pain or feelings of bitter revenge that can result from the atrocities that they have had to go through and witness.
Protect every single life we pray, and we ask that You would intervene in any attempts to abduct the children of Christians and expose them to forced “corrective teaching” or “child labour” camps.
Lord, You were the one that said, "let the little children come to Me and forbid them not." I pray that each and every child that experiences some form of persecution against their faith, will be kept and protected by You, and brought at last into Your everlasting kingdom, where every tear and all pain will be wiped away, forever.
Amen.
For Those Suffering Intolerance For Their Faith - 为受害于仇恨和黨同伐异的信徒祈祷
Our Lord and Heavenly God, Who suffered and bled and died under shocking conditions and rose again into newness of life, we lay before You all the believers in Christ who for Your sake, are going through acts of hate and intolerance, that are ravaging the lives of so many Christians today, and in so many different parts of the world.
Comfort with Your grace, all those who are experiencing the hatred and intolerance of their fellow men, and give them the grace and strength to face whatever evils are being perpetrated against them.
Move I pray, those that are oppressing our brothers and sisters with compassion and mercy.
Let all who are suffering, know Your special closeness in all the struggles they are going through. Provide for their bodily needs, and sustain their spirit with Your heavenly grace. Fill their hearts with hope, knowing that You are with them in all things and will never leave them nor forsake them. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Individual Persecuted Christians - 为被害的个人祈祷
Loving Lord, we live in an evil world and know that You are coming back soon for Your Church. Be with all those who are suffering persecution at the hands of so many that would destroy the truth of Your Word.
Help every man and woman, boy and girl that is going through some form of persecution today. May You guard and guide and encourage each one, no matter where they are.
Give them the strength to remain firm in their faith, despite any physical, emotion or psychological pain they may have to endure for the sake of Jesus Christ. Protect and keep each one from harm and danger that stalks their path. Hide them under the shadow of Your wing, and support and strengthen them in the ordeals that they will be subjected to.
Let Your peace and joy and love reign in their hearts, and help them to walk humbly before You, as they identify with the sufferings that the Lord Jesus endured for them. And Father, may their lives, and possibly their deaths, be a fruitful witness. May the seed of Your love be planted in the hearts of their persecutors, so that their life may produce much fruit. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Prayer For New Converts To Christ - 为新的信徒祈祷
Loving Lord, we lift up our brothers and sisters that are being persecuted in so many places in our world and in so many inhumane ways. Lord, we lift up all new converts, all those who have accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, knowing that they will have to face possible rejection and even persecution from family, friends and the communities in which they live.
Guide and protect them we pray, from all assaults of the enemy, in body soul and spirit. Lord, we ask that You would keep them from harm, and provide all that they need to sustain their lives. And Father, please provide the spiritual food that they need to grow in You and mature in their faith, so that their trust in You becomes strong and they are able to withstand the fiery darts of the enemy.
Give them the courage to face the future, knowing that You are with them and in them, and Father we thank You that You are growing Your church with the dear new converts to Christ. Be with them always I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Persecuted Christians In Prison - 为监狱中的人祈祷
Loving Father, I lay each and every one of Your children that are suffering as a result of persecution in prison or hard labour camps. Father God, please be very close to every single one that has been confined to prison for their faith, and pour out Your life-saving grace into each life and heart.
May Your Holy Spirit permeate their being with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and may Your sustaining hope warm their aching hearts, knowing that they can draw near to you and that You are with them in the terrible ordeal that they are going through. Infuse them with a sense of Your closeness and presence, and may Your holy angels be ministering spirits that surround and support them every moment of the day and night.
Lord, I am sure that the doubts and fears that flood their minds during their capture must be shocking and far beyond what we, who have never had to taste such atrocities, can imagine. But in Your great love and mercy, pour in Your strength and support them with Your loving kindness and tender pity. May each one find in You the depth of peace and rest that their soul needs. Father, they are Your children and our brothers and sisters. Hold them closely in the palm of Your loving hands. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Suffering Saints Worldwide - 为全世界的圣徒祈祷
Our gracious God and Heavenly King, how we love and bless You for the grace that You pour out on Your children day by day. Thank You that we are Your children, and that You chose to humble Yourself by coming to earth, to die a cruel death on a cross, so that we might live in heaven with You, for all eternity.
Lord, we come to You interceding for our suffering sisters and brothers who have been caused to walk the path of persecution and pain for Your name’s sake. Work through the life of each one, that through them Your holy name be lifted up. Cause those that are inflicting such pain on Your body, the Church, to be brought to the place of true repentance. May they turn from their ungodly ways to discover the one true way to true forgiveness of their sins, and eternal life, through faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank You for the faithful witness of these dear, persecuted sisters and brothers in the Lord. Keep each one under Your banner of love, and may Your holy angels minister to all their needs so that they may know Your peace in their heart, a perfect peace that only You can give. And Lord, we pray that through the life-witness and testimony of each one You may be glorified. We commit each one into Your care. In Jesus' name,
Amen.

For The Children Of Persecuted Christians - 为受害者的孩子祈祷
Oh Lord, we bring before You all persecuted Christians in so many parts of the world, and we particularly lift up their children, knowing that children can be so abused and ill-treated and used as pawns to cause their parents to falter in their faith.
Guard and protect all these little ones. Keep each one from any long-term psychological harm, emotional pain or feelings of bitter revenge that can result from the atrocities that they have had to go through and witness.
Protect every single life we pray, and we ask that You would intervene in any attempts to abduct the children of Christians and expose them to forced “corrective teaching” or “child labour” camps.
Lord, You were the one that said, "let the little children come to Me and forbid them not." I pray that each and every child that experiences some form of persecution against their faith, will be kept and protected by You, and brought at last into Your everlasting kingdom, where every tear and all pain will be wiped away, forever.
Amen.
For Those Suffering Intolerance For Their Faith - 为受害于仇恨和黨同伐异的信徒祈祷
Our Lord and Heavenly God, Who suffered and bled and died under shocking conditions and rose again into newness of life, we lay before You all the believers in Christ who for Your sake, are going through acts of hate and intolerance, that are ravaging the lives of so many Christians today, and in so many different parts of the world.
Comfort with Your grace, all those who are experiencing the hatred and intolerance of their fellow men, and give them the grace and strength to face whatever evils are being perpetrated against them.
Move I pray, those that are oppressing our brothers and sisters with compassion and mercy.
Let all who are suffering, know Your special closeness in all the struggles they are going through. Provide for their bodily needs, and sustain their spirit with Your heavenly grace. Fill their hearts with hope, knowing that You are with them in all things and will never leave them nor forsake them. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Individual Persecuted Christians - 为被害的个人祈祷
Loving Lord, we live in an evil world and know that You are coming back soon for Your Church. Be with all those who are suffering persecution at the hands of so many that would destroy the truth of Your Word.
Help every man and woman, boy and girl that is going through some form of persecution today. May You guard and guide and encourage each one, no matter where they are.
Give them the strength to remain firm in their faith, despite any physical, emotion or psychological pain they may have to endure for the sake of Jesus Christ. Protect and keep each one from harm and danger that stalks their path. Hide them under the shadow of Your wing, and support and strengthen them in the ordeals that they will be subjected to.
Let Your peace and joy and love reign in their hearts, and help them to walk humbly before You, as they identify with the sufferings that the Lord Jesus endured for them. And Father, may their lives, and possibly their deaths, be a fruitful witness. May the seed of Your love be planted in the hearts of their persecutors, so that their life may produce much fruit. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Prayer For New Converts To Christ - 为新的信徒祈祷
Loving Lord, we lift up our brothers and sisters that are being persecuted in so many places in our world and in so many inhumane ways. Lord, we lift up all new converts, all those who have accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, knowing that they will have to face possible rejection and even persecution from family, friends and the communities in which they live.
Guide and protect them we pray, from all assaults of the enemy, in body soul and spirit. Lord, we ask that You would keep them from harm, and provide all that they need to sustain their lives. And Father, please provide the spiritual food that they need to grow in You and mature in their faith, so that their trust in You becomes strong and they are able to withstand the fiery darts of the enemy.
Give them the courage to face the future, knowing that You are with them and in them, and Father we thank You that You are growing Your church with the dear new converts to Christ. Be with them always I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Persecuted Christians In Prison - 为监狱中的人祈祷
Loving Father, I lay each and every one of Your children that are suffering as a result of persecution in prison or hard labour camps. Father God, please be very close to every single one that has been confined to prison for their faith, and pour out Your life-saving grace into each life and heart.
May Your Holy Spirit permeate their being with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and may Your sustaining hope warm their aching hearts, knowing that they can draw near to you and that You are with them in the terrible ordeal that they are going through. Infuse them with a sense of Your closeness and presence, and may Your holy angels be ministering spirits that surround and support them every moment of the day and night.
Lord, I am sure that the doubts and fears that flood their minds during their capture must be shocking and far beyond what we, who have never had to taste such atrocities, can imagine. But in Your great love and mercy, pour in Your strength and support them with Your loving kindness and tender pity. May each one find in You the depth of peace and rest that their soul needs. Father, they are Your children and our brothers and sisters. Hold them closely in the palm of Your loving hands. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Suffering Saints Worldwide - 为全世界的圣徒祈祷
Our gracious God and Heavenly King, how we love and bless You for the grace that You pour out on Your children day by day. Thank You that we are Your children, and that You chose to humble Yourself by coming to earth, to die a cruel death on a cross, so that we might live in heaven with You, for all eternity.
Lord, we come to You interceding for our suffering sisters and brothers who have been caused to walk the path of persecution and pain for Your name’s sake.

感谢分享，这就是我最近的口语练习素材了
如何为偷渡客祈祷？当中国所谓文明变为废墟时将有大量的偷渡者，他们可能是为了保存自由而偷渡出去，为了这些人我找到一个类似的祈祷，原来是为了偷渡思想的人做的祈祷，也许同样可以用吧：
“Lord, in my luggage I have Scripture I want to take to Your children. When You were on earth, You made blind eyes see. Now, I pray, make seeing eyes blind. Do not let the guards see those things You do not want them to see.”
主，我的行李中有经文我想带给你的孩子。当你在人间，你让瞎子看见。现在，我祈祷，让明眼人瞎掉。不要让士兵看见这些你不想他们看见的。
--
One of the most loved Brother Andrew stories recounts a risky incident from early in his ministry. On this occasion, Brother Andrew approached the Romanian border in his car—which was packed with illegal Bibles.
来自中国的偷渡者，请随身带上一本小小的信仰之书。不一定是什么宗教，但是请保证这是一本可以保存人性的信仰的经文，然后，你可以用上面这一段祈祷文为自己祈祷。

补充十个祈祷文，在旅行时，需要保护时，逃生时，需要勇气时，在不同场景祈祷。
source: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/prayer/prayers-for-protection-pray-for-safety.html
1. "St. Patrick's Breastplate" Protective Prayer 圣徒 Patrick 的胸甲保护祈祷文
The hymn version of St. Patrick's Breastplate consists of several stanzas, though the last two stanzas are particularly memorable and powerful:
这一段最后两句最有力：
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. I bind unto myself the Name, The strong Name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same. The Three in One, and One in Three, Of Whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord.
2. Grant me Protection 给予我保护
Grant, O Lord, Thy protection
And in protection, strength
And in strength, understanding
And in understanding, knowledge
And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice
And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it
And in the love of it, the love of all existences
And in that love, the love of spirit and all creation.
Amen.
3. Be with Me Christ
The cross of Christ be with me;
The cross of Christ overcomes all water and every fire;
The cross of Christ overcomes all weapons;
The cross of Christ is a perfect sign and blessing to my soul.
May Christ be with me and my body during all my life At day and at night.
Now I pray, I [name], pray God the Father For the soul’s sake,
and I pray God the Son for the Father’s sake,
And I pray God the Holy Ghost for the Father’s and Son’s sake,
And I pray God the Holy Ghost for the for the Father’s and the Son’s sake,
That the holy corpse of God may bless me against all evil things, words and works.
Amen.
4. Prayer for the Protection of Family
Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over my kids (grandkids).
Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength.
I pray You will guard their minds from harmful instruction,
and grant them discernment to recognize truth.
I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger,
recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day.
Help them to find rest in Your shadow,
as they live in the spiritual shelter You provide for them.
Let them know that the only safe place is in Jesus,
and that their home on earth is only temporary.
- by Rebecca Barlow Jordan
5. For Protection in Safe Travel
God’s Angels guard and keep you
All the way that you must travel
Till earth’s days are past
When blossoms fade and
Time is fleeting fast
In times of purest joy
Or pain and fear
God’s Angels guard
And keep you safe.
Amen.
6. The Light of God
The light of God surrounds us, The love of God enfolds us, The power of God protects us, The presence of God watches over us, Wherever we are, God is, And where God is, all is well. St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John, Like unto the prophet Jonas, as a type of Christ, Who was guarded for three days and Three nights in the belly of a whale, Thus shall the Almighty God, As a Father, guard and protect me from all evil. Amen.
7. Prayer for Protection from Wrongdoing
You thieves, I implore you to be obedient like Jesus Christ, Who obeyed his heavenly Father unto the cross, And to stand without moving out of my sight, In the name of the Trinity. I command you by the power of God And the incarnation of Jesus Christ Not to move out of my sight, like Jesus Christ Stood on Jordan’s stormy banks to be baptized by John. And furthermore, I implore you, horse and rider, To stand still and not to move out of my sight, Like Jesus Christ did stand when he was about To be nailed to the cross to release the Fathers of the church from the bonds of hell. Thieves, I bind you with the same bonds with which Jesus Our Lord has bound hell; and thus ye shall be bound; And the same Words that bind you shall also release you.
8. Prayer for Children's Protection
Lord, I pray that my kids (grandkids) will develop an eternal perspective and purpose, not an earthly one. Help them to see life–and every challenge–through Your eyes, eager and unafraid to share with others the good news of Jesus wherever they go. I pray that they will set their minds on things above, not just what’s going on here, and that they will be rooted and grounded in Your love. I pray they will come to understand the extent of Your own love for them – that it surpasses all the head knowledge they will acquire in school. I pray they will be filled up with You from morning ’til night. – Rebecca Barlow Jordan
9. Prayer for Strength and Protection
Lord God, heavenly Father, you know that we are set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: Grant us such strength and protection, to support us in all danger, and carry us through all temptations; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
10. Protect from Temptation
O Christ, Son of God, for our sake you fasted forty days and allowed yourself to be tempted. Protect us so that we may not be led astray by any temptation. Since man does not live by bread alone, nourish our souls with the heavenly food of your Word; through your mercy, O our God, you are blessed, and live and govern all things, now and forever. Amen.

想起电影《风暴》里，姜皓文演的卧底在女儿被害之前的祈祷。。
如何祈祷敌人去死，比如该死的中共。 这里是一个范本，来自 Psalm 55，先中文后英文：
[sup]1 [/sup]神啊，求你留心聽我的禱告，不要隱藏不聽我的懇求。
[sup]2 [/sup]求你側耳聽我，應允我。我哀嘆不安，發聲唉哼，
[sup]3 [/sup]都因仇敵的聲音，惡人的欺壓。因為他們將罪孽加在我身上，發怒氣逼迫我。
[sup]4 [/sup]我心在我裡面甚是疼痛，死的驚惶臨到我身。
[sup]5 [/sup]恐懼戰兢歸到我身，驚恐漫過了我。
[sup]6 [/sup]我說：「但願我有翅膀像鴿子，我就飛去，得享安息。
[sup]7 [/sup]我必遠遊，宿在曠野。（細拉）
[sup]8 [/sup]我必速速逃到避所，脫離狂風暴雨。」
[sup]9 [/sup]主啊，求你吞滅他們，變亂他們的舌頭，因為我在城中見了強暴爭競的事。
[sup]10 [/sup]他們在城牆上晝夜繞行，在城內也有罪孽和奸惡。
[sup]11 [/sup]邪惡在其中，欺壓和詭詐不離街市。
[sup]12 [/sup]原來不是仇敵辱罵我，若是仇敵，還可忍耐。也不是恨我的人向我狂大，若是恨我的人，就必躲避他。
[sup]13 [/sup]不料是你，你原與我平等，是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友！
[sup]14 [/sup]我們素常彼此談論，以為甘甜，我們與群眾在神的殿中同行。
[sup]15 [/sup]願死亡忽然臨到他們，願他們活活地下入陰間，因為他們的住處、他們的心中都是邪惡。
深信神必施拯救
[sup]16 [/sup]至於我，我要求告神，耶和華必拯救我。
[sup]17 [/sup]我要晚上、早晨、晌午哀聲悲嘆，他也必聽我的聲音。
[sup]18 [/sup]他救贖我命脫離攻擊我的人，使我得享平安，因為與我相爭的人甚多。
[sup]19 [/sup]那沒有更變、不敬畏神的人，從太古常存的神必聽見而苦待他。
[sup]20 [/sup]他背了約，伸手攻擊與他和好的人。
[sup]21 [/sup]他的口如奶油光滑，他的心卻懷著爭戰；他的話比油柔和，其實是拔出來的刀。
[sup]22 [/sup]你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華，他必撫養你，他永不叫義人動搖。
[sup]23 [/sup]神啊，你必使惡人下入滅亡的坑，流人血行詭詐的人必活不到半世，但我要倚靠你。
1 Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
2 hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
4 My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
5 Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest--
7 I would flee far away and stay in the desert; Selah
8 I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."
9 Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
12 If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend,
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God.
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave, [2] for evil finds lodging among them.
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.
18 He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear them and afflict them-- Selah men who never change their ways and have no fear of God.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
23 But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.
