Pray For the Persecuted Church

Good morning Lord. 

We pray for courage and witness for those going through persecution because of their Christian faith. 

May they stand firm against threats and to share their faith boldly, as did Paul and Silas. 

We ask for wisdom, and grace to love their enemies and to reflect Christ. 

May the Holy Spirit give them the right words to say when brought before the authorities. Amen. 

(About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened. 

 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”  And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”  

And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God. Acts 16: 25-34)

Am I a soldier of the Cross—

  A follower of the Lamb?

And shall I fear to own His cause,

  Or blush to speak His name?
