Prayer for our persecuted Brothers and Sisters
Hi all,
Just want to share something that I found.
This prayer is taken from www.wau.org, their daily meditation of 29'Th November 2006. It is a beautiful prayer in intercession for the people who are being persecuted.
"Father, we come before you in intercession for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted in distant countries and right in our own neighborhoods. You know each of them by name! We cry out to you for those whose voices have become weak or silent. You are their hope of protection and salvation. Come and rescue all who suffer for the sake of your name. You are the refuge for those who have been cast down. Come and let the warmth of your love enkindle the fire of faith and steadfast hope in them!
Jesus, you never once grasped for recognition. Instead, you humbled yourself to the point of death on the cross. Pour your divine humility into the hearts of our persecuted brothers and sisters. In the midst of their trials, fill them with the joy of being formed into your image. Let your life in them shine as a witness. As they decrease, come and increase in them! Part the heavens and let them see you standing at the right hand of the Father!
Lord, we pray that your precious blood will fall upon your people and dissolve any hatred they may feel toward their persecutors. By your Holy Spirit, may the mercy of God well up in their hearts so that, in the face of such mercy, their persecutors might turn to you in repentance. May they see that it is you, the Son of God, whom they are persecuting. Jesus, let your mercy triumph!
Holy Spirit, rain down your wisdom and boldness to empower our brothers and sisters to proclaim the truth of the gospel clearly and fearlessly. May your words be firmly planted in them so that they will know how to respond to their persecutors. Fill them with the resolve to cling to you and you alone. Remind them that they are not alone, for you remain closer than a brother at every moment. Let the love of the Father and Son overshadow them. Set them free from fear and keep their hearts lifted high."
Not a hair of your head will perish. (Luke 21:18)
