From Voice of the Martyrs, I share this:
How to Pray for Those Who are Persecuted
- Pray that persecuted believers will sense God's presence (Heb. 13:5).
- Pray that they will feel connected to the greater Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:20, 26).
- Pray that they will experience God's comfort when their family members are killed, injured or imprisoned for their witness (2 Cor. 1:3-5).
- Pray that they will have more opportunities to share the gospel (Col. 4:3).
- Pray for their boldness to make Christ known (Phil. 1:14).
- Pray that they will forgive and love their persecutors (Matt. 5:44).
- Pray that their ministry activities will remain undetected by authorities or others who wish to silence them (Acts 9:25).
- Pray that they will rejoice in suffering (Acts 5:41).
- Pray that they will be refreshed through God's Word and grow in their faith (Eph. 6:17).
- Pray that they will be strengthened through the prayers of fellow believers (Jude 20-25).
