Austria is an effective market economy with a skilled labor force and a high standard of living[1]. A major prayer request is over the influx of refugees in this country. Additionally, this nation serves as a transit and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor[2]. Let’s press forth the will of the Holy Spirit upon this nation…

-God, we thank you for the work of your hands in Austria. We lift up all the organizations in Austria who are enabling the Holy Spirit to guide their steps. God we pray your hand of grace, provision, and protection over these organizations. May each organization be rooted in you Yeshua, and may they breathe your fruits of the spirit into Austria. Holy Spirit, may your will be done in Austria.

-Father, we pray a blessing over the economy and the labor force. We ask that you would give them increase in time, talents, and wealth as they seek to place their hope and trust in you Jesus. We pray for millions of Austrians to seek you Lord with all their heart, all their soul, and all their strength.* 

-Yeshua, we pray that you would shut down the human trafficking business in Austria. We pray for an angelic presence over the borders of this nation guiding the incoming victims towards a safe home and safe community. We pray for salvation to come to the oppressed and poor. We pray for healing, restoration, and freedom over those held captive. We ask for conviction to fall upon the guilty, and we pray your grace would lead them to repentance, salvation, and restoration. God, we pray that you would continue to work on the hearts of leadership in Austria that human trafficking would be eradicated from this nation. Amen. 

-Father, we pray over the refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Russia, & Iraq and we ask for your provision and mercy to guide them and provide for them in their new home. We pray for strong communities as they live in Austria and we pray that every need that they have would be met. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.       

-We pray against the drug trafficking of cocaine and heroin in Austria, and pray for a cleansing of the guilty individuals to seek repentance in the name of Christ. We also pray for your grace over drug users in Austria, and for your help Yeshua in breaking free from addictions.  Amen.
