Father, we thank You for our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church who are praying. We lift them up to You today. There are miracles in Iran, China, Russia, Gaza and many other countries hostile to Your gospel and to the free world. Yet, many may not be aware of the things they’ve been binding and holding back or releasing. They are a blessing to us and we lift them up to You, Father. Comfort them. Provide for them. Let the jaws of their persecutors be toothless and their hatred be like water off a duck’s back. Make them like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the midst of the fire, be with them LORD Jesus. Spare and protect them. They’ve been praying for Your Spirit to fill their lands and have been keeping us all out of a hot — all out war, thus far. Father, send Your spirit in greater measure upon us all and let there be unity among Your people united against a common enemy. Sin. Bring Your great outpouring of Your Holy Spirit. Let us not miss the opportunity to lift up Your suffering church, we are one body, yet many are still not aware of this and distracted. In Jesus’ name and through Your blood let us be cleansed of wickedness, united in prayer and purpose as one people for Your glory. Amen.
