Ep. 522 - Remember to Pray

MINISTRY MOMENT

Ephesians 6:18 reminds us to: “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Today we are calling on the people of God to pray for our brothers and sisters around the world facing these terrible attacks because of their faith.

PRAYER POINT

In your own words, pray for the persecuted Church. 1) Pray that they will feel the comfort and encouragement of the Lord. 2) Pray that their persecutors will come to know Christ. 3) Pray that in the midst of persecution, the Church will be strengthened and continue to grow. 4) Pray that these believers will have access to God’s Word. 5) Pray that our persecuted brothers and sisters would feel God’s comforting presence.

GOING DEEPER

How can we be praying for these persecuted followers of Christ? First, let’s pray for their safety and for a peaceful resolution to the situation they are facing. In the midst of their hardship, let’s pray for every believer around the world to feel comforted and encouraged by the Lord. As Galatians 6:9 says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

WALK IT OUT

Set a monthly, weekly, or even a daily reminder to pray for the persecuted Church.
