Why Should We Pray?

Why Should We Pray for Persecuted Christians If God Already Knows Everything?

This is a very important question, and many believers silently wonder the same. The Bible gives several powerful reasons why prayer is still necessary—even though God already knows every persecution, every suffering, and every secret tear.

1. Because Prayer Is God’s Chosen Method to Release Help on Earth

God is all-knowing, all-powerful—but He works on earth through the prayers of His people.

• God knows Israel’s suffering in Egypt, yet He waited until they cried out (Exodus 2:23–25).
• Jesus said, “Ask, and you shall receive” (Matthew 7:7).

God’s knowledge does not replace our prayer;
God’s will is activated through our prayer.

This is a spiritual law He Himself established.

2. Prayer Creates a Legal Platform for God to Intervene

The earth was given to humanity (Psalm 115:16).
This means:

• Humans have authority on earth.
• Prayer is inviting God into earthly situations.

When the church prays, we open the door for divine intervention—angelic help, protection, deliverance, and strength.

3. Prayer Strengthens the Persecuted with Supernatural Power

Even Paul, the mighty apostle, asked believers to pray for him during persecution:

“Pray that I may be delivered from wicked men.”
— Romans 15:31

“Pray for us… that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.”
— 2 Thessalonians 3:1–2

If Paul needed prayer, then persecuted believers today also need spiritual support.

Your prayer releases:

• boldness
• comfort
• angelic assistance
• supernatural endurance
• divine escape
• miracles of protection

4. Prayer Unites the Body of Christ

When one part suffers, all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26).

When you pray for persecuted Christians:

• You carry their burden.
• You join spiritually with them.
• You strengthen the global Body of Christ.

You show God that your heart beats with His.

5. Prayer Changes You as Well

When you pray for the persecuted:

• Your love deepens.
• Your compassion increases.
• Your spiritual maturity grows.
• Your passion for souls becomes stronger.

Prayer does not only change situations—it changes the pray-er.

6. God Commands Us to Pray

We pray for them not only out of compassion,
but because God commanded it.

Hebrews 13:3 says:

“Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them.”

It is a divine instruction.

---

7. Prayer Is Partnership With God

God wants sons and daughters who work with Him, not passive spectators.

When you pray, God says:

“You and I will do this together.”

This partnership is the greatest honor given to believers.

---

In Simple Words

Even though God knows everything,
He acts on earth through the prayers, faith, and authority of His children.

Your prayer becomes:

• a shield
• a weapon
• a lifeline
• a door for miracles

for those suffering persecution.
