Pray that Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms take animal abuse seriously and will report abusive content as well as remove the material from their site.

Pray for the perpetrators of evil. For Jesus died for all of us, all fall short of his glory, his character. God is trying to work all things that happen for evil out for good (Romans 8:28), and we should, too.

Check out this prayer resource, How to Have an Effective Prayer Life.

Daniel 9:20 I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petitions before Jehovah my God on behalf of the holy mountain of my God.

1 Corinthians 14:15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.

Ephesians 6:18-20 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Please let us know if you think of any other industry or situation in which animals need prayer that need to be added to this list! Thank you.
