God, we pray right now for Your sons and daughters in different parts of the world where they are being persecuted for their faith in You. God, we pray for Your strength for them. We pray for Your help for them. Lord, we pray that You would uphold them with Your righteous right hand. We pray that You would give them boldness to follow You and to proclaim You even at great costs.
God, we pray for those who are in prison unjustly. We pray that they would feel Your presence with them. They would know that we are interceding for them and they are not alone. God, we pray that the Gospel would spread through them even in prison, that what we see in the book of Acts would be true today. Lord, consider the threats against them and enable Your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. We pray for the salvation of jailers like we see in Acts 16.
God, we pray for the salvation of persecutors like we see in Saul’s life. We believe in a miracle to happen that those who are persecuting Christians will have transformed their hearts to see Jesus as Paul did and would become proclaimers of the Gospel of Christ. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
