Many have gone out in Your Name, O God, and many have labored long. We praise You that their reward is eternal, as are the souls whom they have won for Christ. Their mission fields are hostile and dangerous, for the prince of the power of the air refuses to relinquish his power. Yet greater are You, O God, than he that is in the world.
Heavenly Father, we seek your protection for these laborers who are held captive ... may they soon know the joy of their prison doors being flung open and they are set free. Thank You that You will meet their needs exactly where they are ... surround them with the assurance of the prayers of Your children. May they be graced with hymns of praise within their hearts, for great is their witness to Your redeeming love. May comfort fall greatly upon the hearts of their loved ones, for in Your hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10.
Hear our prayer, O Lord ... hear our prayer, O Lord ... incline thine ear to us, and grant us thy peace. Amen ...
~Amen
and Amen.
