We are truly grieved to hear of your circumstances, but we are here to pray with you and encourage you in the Lord. Remember, as believers in Christ, we are called to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29 WEB). Even when faced with difficult laws and decrees, our allegiance belongs to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In such times, we draw strength from the words of our Lord in Matthew 10:28 (WEB), "Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer who is facing persecution for their faith. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over their life and for Your Holy Spirit to strengthen them in this trial. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith, even in the face of adversity.
Lord, we pray for this nation, that Your light would shine in the darkness and that the hearts of its leaders would be turned towards You. We ask that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel.
Help us to remember our brothers and sisters who are suffering for their faith around the world, and to intercede on their behalf. In all things, Lord, may Your will be done and may Your kingdom come.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (WEB), "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that you are not alone. We are here praying for you, and God is with you always.
