Let them feel Your presence in every moment of their trials, knowing that You are by their side, comforting and guiding them. Infuse them with peace that surpasses all understanding, so they can face their hardships with resilience and hope.
Lord, I ask that You would soften the hearts of those who persecute, that they may see the error of their ways and turn towards Your love. Use these challenging situations to spread the message of Your gospel, allowing the light of Your truth to shine even in the darkest corners of the world. May the endurance and faithfulness of The Persecuted serve as a powerful testimony to others, inspiring them to seek and know You.
Heavenly Father, provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of The Persecuted.
