Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners,
and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
Hebrews 13:3

 

So Peter was kept in prison,
but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

- Acts 12:5

• Pray for the families of those imprisoned or martyred.
• Thank God for the faithful witness of the persecuted.
• Pray for the love and forgiveness of Christ to conquer hate and fear.
• Ask strength for new believers who must immediately face hardship.
• Pray for church leaders and scripture where the church is growing.
• Pray for the salvation of all those who persecute Christians.

Persecution Takes Many Forms:

• Loss of job, unable to get government assistance, denied your basic rights;
• Not allowed to meet publicly for worship;
• You cannot find a spouse you can marry; your children are taken away from you;
• Your house or church is ransacked or burned, your crops are destroyed;
• Imprisonment, kidnaping, torture, rape, slavery.
• Death: you and your family.
