PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him. Philippians 1:29
TO GOD: Father, thank you that Jesus is praying for those suffering persecution, just as he did for Peter, ‘that their faith will not fail’ (Luke 22:32).
FOR THE CHURCH: Father, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Lord, protect, strengthen and use them for your glory.
FOR THE WORLD: Lord, bring revival through the persecuted church, in the knowledge that ‘they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death’ (Revelation 12:11).
FOR OUR NATION: Lord, we choose to stand for righteousness, justice and defence of your word. May your voice be heard, and not only in pulpits!
FOR OUR FRIENDS: May our witness be such that in adverse situations our faith stays strong and grace abounds.
FOR MYSELF: Father, may my heart be touched by the plight of those suffering simply because they love you. Please show me what I can do. Amen.
