Psalm 83:1-8 “A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God. For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’ For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.”

There are still those in the world who hate God and conspire against His people. When we come up against them, we need to pray for God to intervene. And we should pray especially for those who are on the front lines of Christian ministry who face persecution all the time.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.”
