#prayer #persecuted
Heavenly Father,
Today we remember those in prison and being mistreated for Christ's sake (Heb. 13:3).
Thanks for their living sacrifice (Rom. 12:1) as God imitators following Christ's example of preaching to the imprisoned (1 Pet. 3:19).
May they stand firm and immovable always doing the Lord's work vigorously (1 Cor. 15:58) understanding they have received an unshakeable kingdom (Heb. 12:28).
May they know that their service has caused others to be more bold, speaking God's Word fearlessly (Philippians 1:12,14) and has advanced the Good News.
May their dependencies grow in faith in Christ knowing Your presence deeply. This we ask today for Christ's sake and in His name. Amen
