A Prayer For The Afflicted

Father, help us to be moved by the plight of those who are suffering loss and even laying down their lives for the sake of Christ. We remember the congregation in Uganda and other persecuted lands who have suffered loss physically, structurally or materially or all three. Through Your miraculous intervention evil can be exchanged for good when we earnestly pray for Your purpose to prevail even in such mayhem and loss. On Coronation Day when we all gather in heaven we look forward to enjoying eternal fellowship with these tried and true saints of our faith who did not give up meeting together to worship You. Keep us faithful when tested by fire, we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
