‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because of their righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven…’ (Matt. 5:10)
Here in our own land we are blessed in that we do not face imprisonment, or even death, for declaring and bearing witness to our faith, but many in lands overseas do, so please pray for all who do find themselves persecuted in this way and ask for God’s blessing upon them that they might find strength and courage in Him. Pray also for those who are mocked and ridiculed because of their faith here in our own land and ask that they may too may know God’s hand upon them.
