Isolated from the rest of the world because of its mainly desert landscape and because it is ruled by an oppressive regime, Mauritania is very proud to officially be a pure Muslim country. The constitution does not include any provisions for religious freedom and its laws prohibit conversion to Christianity. The sentence for apostasy is death. Pressure on Muslim-background believers from family, tribe members and leaders of local mosques is very high. There is some freedom for expat churches, but Mauritanian Christians must meet in secret.
Pray:
- There were reports of local Christians being beaten. Pray for healing for those who’ve been attacked
- For wisdom for Christians and churches that are being monitored and for unity within the Christian community
- Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM) is gaining support among local Mauritanians and is monitoring Christians. Pray that its influence will diminish.
Dear Lord God i pray that your Holy Spirit would go before those who are persecuted for you and that many that are not your followers would have a Damascus road experience, for your Glory!
Heavenly Father – I pray for the safety of Christians in Mauritania and the healing for those previously attacked. Give them the strength and courage to continue to follow your Word, pray in your Name, and worship and praise You. May the believers increase in number and the Gospel be spread to every corner of Mauritania. I pray that evil influences will diminish and not hinder Your work there. It is in your Son’s name I pray. Amen.
Lord, I pray for my family in Mauritania, your children there who are my brothers and sisters. I pray that you encourage them, that you win every battle, that they can listen to your voice and obey you no matter what happens. Lord, I pray for those who have been attacked: you know the pain and I pray that you heal them, that you surround them with your love and that youcan be more real for them than anything else. Lord, your are King of kings. I pray that your will can be done in Mauritania and that your children can stand firmly until Jesus’ return or untiel death.

Dear Heaveny Father, We lift the believers in Mauritania up to you right now and ask you to give them the strength, YOUR Strength, Heavenly Father, and the courage they need to stand strong in the face of persecution. We pray that you would put a hedge of protection around them, Lord, keep them safe and may the light of Jesus shine through them so that others, including their persecutors may be saved. I pray that that you would give grace to those being persecuted to reflect only Your love back to those being mistreated. I pray that Your TRUTH would overcome that land and that you would be glorified. Remind us to continue to pray for these people, this land, and for all those being persecuted in the name of Jesus.

Even though it is so difficult for them to meet fellow believers, grant them opportunities to fellowship and encourage each other. and help us to be more faithful in prayer for these are precious brothers and sisters. In the powerful Name of Jesus, Amen
Lord I just ask for your protection for our faithful sisters and brothers in Mauritania. Prayer knows no boundaries and because of that I trust my prayers are reaching out and touching many hearts. Give them a triple hedge of protection around them that is so high and so wide that it cannot be penetrated with any fiery dart. I give you all the glory Lord and my hands are up in praise of my sisters and brothers and keeping them victorious and safe. In this I pray amen.
Father God, How I pray you will send Your Son Jesus Christ to deliver us from the nightmare of sinful life. Dear Lord, I have read that You have appeared to Muslims in the Middle-East and because of this, many have secretly sought Your Face and converted, choosing Your Way of Obedience amidst danger to the point of death. Yes Lord, please show Yourself more and more to these communities. Lord, we know that the illegal drug trade funds terrorist activity. May regular consumers of drugs turn their backs on them and be healed. May governments do their utmost to end the trade. Oh God rescue Your people, oh Lord come quickly and deliver us from chains of darkness, and our imprisoned tortured brothers and sisters from oppression, jailed for Your sake. In Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
Father God, I thank you for using Open Doors tell your people about the suffering conditions of our brothers. I plead the blood of Jesus over every single worker serving in Open Doors and grant them rest, your wisdom and excellence complete the tasks you placed in their hands. Lord, I ask you in Jesus name, Mauritanian Christians experience freedom and have favour exercise the full rights as citizens of the nation. Father, I ask the Mauritania Church be blessed with your wisdom and understanding; proclaim the good news and be of unity love one another. Thank you for the expat Christian community. And Lord, use them mightily; set them in positions and opportunities that bring in your life-changing truths to this nation. In Jesus name, I bind the works of spirits that confuse local Mauritanians from the truth. Fire and be gone! In Jesus name, Lord, send your holy angels battle against wicked forces that set up traps against your children, let your children know by witnessing of your Holy Spirit “God is for them”. Amen!
Father, I pray, Hallowed be your name in all the earth! Lord, be with the people in Mauritania, who have been deceived and held in bondage to religion of Islam. Deliver them, Father, from the enemies stronghold upon them and free them in the name of Jesus Christ.Stop Al Qaeda’s plans to keep control over this land and its people. Speak Lord, to the leader of this country, General Mohamed Abdelaziz, in a still small voice or a dream, showing Yourself to him and revealing the truth of Your Words.And I ask You to shield our Christian brothers and sisters there and to protect them as they gather together to worship You; unite them and keep them within the same purpose and strengthen them to continue to spread the Gospel and let Your light shatter the darkness. Lord, You tell us in Your word “we have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him,”(Phil.1:29), strengthen them and lead them daily, protecting their families. I pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
Lord, I have the privilege of coming to You this morning on behalf of the nation of Mauritania. And I begin by praying for Your supernatural healing – both mentally and physically – for those Christian who have been abused, tortured or harmed in any way emotionally or physically because of their faith in You. Grant them comfort and peace and bring restoration to their bodies and minds in Jesus’ name. Please keep them from being consumed by fear in their hearts and give them the grace and strength that they need to continue to live for You and pursue You in this very difficult land. Please don’t let them give up. I also pray for wisdom for the churches and Christians that exist. Help them to know exactly what You want them to do and where You want them to go. Help them to know when to step out and be bold in their faith and witness, and when to hold their tongues and be shrewd. I also pray for unity within the body of Christ in Mauritania – please don’t let doctrinal differences or pettiness or jealousy or anything like that get in the way of Your plan for this nation and how You desire to use your body to bring light to this dark place. And finally, I pray that the influence of AQIN will decrease. I pray that You would expose it for what it is and that the lies that they are speaking would be revealed as such. I pray for Your peace to be in that region and even for the salvation of those who are involved in AQIN. Those who are zealous against you can be the most amazing disciples when their zeal is for truth and light – glorify Your name by miraculously saving some of these souls!
Thank you, Lord, for the work that You are doing in Mauritania. Be glorified! In Jesus’ name, amen.
Lord, I pray that your protection be over the people of Mauritania. Help them to remain steadfast in their beliefs and in their faith as they face daily persecution in this country. May your presence be felt among all who encounter these brave men, women, and children who seek to defend their faith and spread your Word. Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in Christ. May someday the freedoms that we enjoy in this country, the United States, be granted to the people of Mauritania. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Heavenly Father, all this persecution of your people reminds us of the accuracy of your word. Those who are persecuting your people believe that they are doing you a favour. Father, you know that the god of this world has blinded them to the truth. So Lord God, creator of heaven and earth, since it is your will that all men be saved I pray that you would allow your light of the truth to pierce the darkness in Mauritania. Father, people have to choose whether they will believe in Jesus, so please reveal your Son to the country of Mauritania, including the government and the people of influence in high places. Please God, what was impossible for years can become possible in a moment, so I am asking in faith that you do something good in that country. Please bring deliverance from persecution and cause the gospel to flourish over there.
Please God, your angels are ministering spirits assigned to those who are called unto salvation, so please release hosts of them to do your bidding and show yourself strong for your people. Give your people reason to rejoice in the power of the Lord and master, Jesus Christ.
Father, we your children, petition you for our brothers and sisters in Mauritania so please hear and answer our prayer, which we send up to you in the name and authority of your beloved son and our saviour, Yeshua (Jesus), the Anointed One.
Heavenly Father,
You are Lord of Lords, King of Kings; You are Prophet Priest and King! You are theLord
Jesus Christ; You heal all our diseases; You redeem our lives from destruction; send your
Word, shatter the religious spirit, raise the dead; provide for our brothers and sisters in Christ
in this dry land. For thine is the power, and the glory forever and ever
Amen
God our Father, Jesus our Lord, Holy Spirit ~ May the Light that is hidden in the darkness come through in this country. I pray healing for those hurt by beatings. I pray protection from the acts of Muslims who are still blind and need truth. Lord bring a harvest of souls to this desert land. Give visions and dreams of You to the Muslim people. God bless the Christians. We are One With Them. In Jesus name, Amen and Amen
Oh wonderful God, how powerful you are nothing is lost in your hands you have the power to open and close doors. With your words you create new things with your words you give life. I pray you take control of all things that happen in Mauritania. Give my brothers and sisters all your love to help them to keep walking and looking at you remembering that is not their fight because it is yours.
Give wisdom to all churches and direction to continue sharing your love no matter what happen around them. Please Lord protect them in Jesus name
Heavenly Father:
Please protect the Christians in Mauritana; increase their faith; strengthen them in You.
We give You all the praise, glory and honor.
Amen
Thank you Jesus for the power of prayer. I am believing that our prayers have opened the heavens to rain blessings on the people of Mauritana, that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit and know Jesus is Lord.
Lord God,
I praise you that you are Sovereign over all countries, including those that do not worship you as the True God! Thank you that you are at work behind the scenes drawing men, women and children to yourself for salvation. I pray for your hand of salvation extended to those who are without Christ in Mauritania. May you convert them and bring them to a glorious and transforming faith that impacts those around them in their communities for the gospel. May you strengthen the believers to have solid faith and trust in You and to walk in confidence despite suffering and threats. Please encourage them that others are lifting them in prayer, provide Bibles and training, and deliver them from those who wish to do evil and thwart the work of the gospel. Protect those from bitterness who suffer as followers of you and give them the agape love and ability to pray for those who persecute them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Lord, I come to You today thankful for the church that You have raised up in Mauritania for Your Name! I come to You today on their behalf to ask for Your healing power to rain down upon those that have been physically and emotionally persecuted! I thank You for organizations such as Open Doors that are willingly risking their own lives to love and encourage our fellow believers in countries such as this. Please pour out Your blessing on Open Doors and the believers in this country so that they can continue to grow and spread the Gospel in this land. Lord, I pray for divine intervention to stall and eradicate the influence of Al Queda in this country. Let an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit fall on this land so that many come to know and love and follow You! Let our brothers and sisters in this country be able to feel our love and prayers, so that they know they are being supported worldwide! Lord, I thank You for hearing and answering our prayers! In Jesus’s Sweet and Precious Name, Amen!
Father what can I do but pray for these people. Lord would you please strengthen the Mauritania people. I think of Paul writing to the Philippians in chapter 1:29-30…”For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake…” Lord they are suffering for you…give them strength to endure…Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Let this be so for these people. Please Jesus. I pray that al queda would be defeated spiritually. I thank you for giving us people that will stand for you even to the point of death and not deny you. Please provide healing Father for the people that have been beaten. We love you and ask these things as a child to a father.
Dear God,
May we all take a moment away from our own anxieties and obstacles to pray for the people of Mauritania. Please heal those beaten for their faith and keep them strong in You through Jesus’ love for them. Please send legions of Angels to walk across that vast land to break down strongholds and show your Love to all; Christians and everyone else. I pray that Bibles be distributed to these people who need to hear your True and Truthful Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
dear God,
protect the people in Mauritania. protect them from being killed and their houses being burned. Don’t let a bomb get in their house. keep the Christians safe and let them just have your secret so they won’t be murdered or killed.
and in Jesus name, Amen

Heavenly Father look down with favor on those being persecuted, let them not shrink back from their torturers knowing that by the stripes of Christ we are healed. Let them persist in their quest to know you and that one day they will share your kingdom in eternity.
Dear Father, let Your Name be glorified on this Earth in Mauritania, as it is in heaven! Let you people be steadfast and strong; build up their faith through their trials; give them the spiritual training and instruction they need. Then bind up Satan in Mauritania, so that his agents cannot attack your people, but instead further the gospel. Finally, miraculously, let the Church go forth in Mauritania, carry light to the darkest regions, and making disciples of all the land’s inhabitants. Be their strong tower, a pillar of cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night, defeating all foes. Glorify Jesus Christ through the Church in Mauritania! In the Name of the Alpha and Omega I pray! Amen!
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray in the name of your son Jesus Christ, for your mercy and guidance for the believers in Mauritania. I ask that you bring more tolerance and acceptance of those who know and love you and that you lift the restrictions on their worship of you, and that more of your children come to know you and believe in you, in spite of the heavy hand of Islam. O Lord, diminish Islam’s power and influence in Mauritania and increase the power and influence of you and your son, Lord Jesus Christ in the hearts and minds of the people. I pray that you use your mighty power to set the captives free and increase your light in this nation. Give the believers patience and the perserverance they require to meet every situation that arises. Protect your children, but when they must suffer, give them courage and faith to endure. Thank you for your intercession and your perfect love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
