Prayer for the Persecuted

Prince of Peace,

For those suffering chastisement

because of Your name,

Fill them with Your strength to

continue proclaiming it,

For those suffering persecution

because of the belief of your holy power

and Word,

Make them grounded like granite in it,

so your omniscience can be felt by those

who oppose you through their faith believing.

Should you call one of your persecuted children home,

leave behind for those still suffering persecution a

legacy of strength and perseverance to follow

so your light overcomes the darkness they are

walking through. Amen
