A prayer.
For the persecuted Church to continually triumph over the gates of hell.
For the peace of God to continually rest over His people in every nation, and the gospel to advance effectively.
For God to distinguish His true servants and shepherds- those who care for the flock, from hirelings, so the body of Christ will be strengthened as they mark those who pleasure in division and avoid them.
For those ‘legally empowered’ to act in defense of lives and properties to do so effectively, especially Christians and every other vulnerable persons in hostile places. To ability to tell what difference, and specific approach needed, for lasting peace.
For wisdom to be thankful, as we weigh our burdens in relation to that which others bear, and to see the grace and purpose of God beyond our righteousness.
For oneness in the body, as Christ is one with the Father continually, so the Church might be formidable in showcasing the love of God.
For grace to continue in prayers and worship to keep seeing your hand of deliverance(s). And for wisdom for those who serve as leaders, to remember your sovereignty.
In the name of Jesus Christ. [John 10:1-18; Romans 16:17; Galatians 6:2; Matthew 16 :18, 5:44; 1 Timothy 2:2]
