Prayer in Persecution
Dear Lord, we are sorely tried in these days of persecution and need. We have not always loved You with all our heart nor served You. We confess that we have not always done what you wanted us to. Forgive us, O Lord, all our sins, our neglect, our indifference, our coldness. In Your mercy, O Lord, turn your face again toward us. Help us, we pray, and give us today what we need to support ourselves and all those who are persecuted. Fill also our souls with peace and love. To You belongs the glory both now and forever; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
