I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

Lord, thank You for the mercy that You have poured out upon this nation.
America does not share the level of Christian persecution that exists in other nations. According to Open Doors, Christian persecution throughout the world is increasing: 1 in 8 Christians were persecuted worldwide in 2021. Today 1 in 7 are persecuted. The number of countries with extreme persecution more than doubled from 23 countries in 2015 to 55 in 2023.
Lord, we lift up our Christian brothers and sisters who live in nations hostile to Christianity.
Comfort them. Bless them. Love them.
Matthew 24: 9-12 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Lord, we thank You everyday, that Christians in America are not hunted down as they are in other nations. We thank You that we are blessed to gather publicly, we have an abundance of Bibles, and we do not hide our faith in fear.
We are a privileged nation.
Let us thank God everyday for His mercy and for our privilege.
Praise be to God.
Amen

Psalm 121
A Song of Ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and for evermore.
AMEN, thank you. Joining in prayer and thanksgiving.
AMEN!
So thankful for the privilege to worship Him openly.
Amen.
Have a Blessed Sunday.
Amen.
Amen. Praying in agreement!
Prayer For Persecuted Christians
Loving Lord, we live in an evil world and know that You are coming back soon for Your Church. Be with all those who are suffering persecution at the hands of so many that would destroy the truth of Your Word.
Help every man and woman, boy and girl that is going through some form of persecution today. May You guard and guide and encourage each one, no matter where they are.
Give them the strength to remain firm in their faith, despite any physical, emotion or psychological pain they may have to endure for the sake of Jesus Christ. Protect and keep each one from harm and danger that stalks their path. Hide them under the shadow of Your wing, and support and strengthen them in the ordeals that they will be subjected to.
Let Your peace and joy and love reign in their hearts, and help them to walk humbly before You, as they identify with the sufferings that the Lord Jesus endured for them. And Father, may their lives, and possibly their deaths, be a fruitful witness. May the seed of Your love be planted in the hearts of their persecutors, so that their life may produce much fruit. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

Thank you for the beautiful prayer SisterK and all here.
Amen. Thank you for leading us in prayer for persecuted Christians. Praying especially for Sean Feucht and the persecution he suffered in trying to bring the Gospel to Canada. Thank You, Sir, for his perseverance and courage. We agree with him for abundant fruit. God sent His musicians out ahead and the walls come tumbling down!
AMEN!
Amen to your Beautiful, Anointed Prayer, Dear Servant of our King.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
