February 10 – Evening

Read

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

(Matthew 5:11)

Pray

Dear God,

You have said in Your Word that blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Lord, I come before You with a heavy heart, knowing that there are many who are suffering persecution for their faith in different parts of the world. I pray that You would give them strength and courage to stand firm in their beliefs, and to not waver in the face of adversity. Please protect them and provide for them in their time of need.

I ask that You would soften the hearts of those who persecute Your children, and bring them to a place of understanding and acceptance of Your gospel. Let Your love and truth shine through in every darkness, and bring peace and freedom to those who are suffering. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
