Oh Lord, Your Son Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In His resurrection He restores life and peace in all creation.
Please protect our brothers and sisters around the world who are being persecuted for their faith, especially those who are active in sharing the gospel.
Let your peace reign on those regions where your children are not permitted the freedom to live out their faith safely.
Help us to not take for granted one day the freedom we have to live boldly for you. Amen
