Today’s Prayer (01/12/2023)

Oh Lord, I pray for the persecuted and afflicted in all the world. Many churches have been burned down, along with believers’ homes. People’s lives have been taken away in the millions over the years all because of their faith in You, God. Even now, people’s lives are being threatened in the Middle East, Islamic countries, and many other places. God, why is it that people are so angry with your people? Help many of them learn their lessons so that many persecutors will also turn to Christianity in the end. Lord, I am praying for every person who is in the mission field when persecution is fierce. I am praying for people who live in these countries and are unafraid of their faith in You. May laws be in their favor, so that persecution will slow down for a time. I am asking for Your favor, God. I know You are there and will step in when the time is right. Sometimes we must be afflicted for a time and a season before we see the promised land. Only You can give us the peace we need to get through this. I love You, Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 74:7-9

Psalm 74:7-9 (KJV)
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
