Suffering for Christ
‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’
(Matthew 5:10)
The very first martyr was Stephen. But as the New Testament continues its story,
we see that there were others as well. In fact, the Apostle Peter refers to persecution
as occurring ‘throughout the world’. You may not realise that it still occurs today
and that each year there are many Christians who are discriminated against,
cast out from families and friends, kidnapped and enslaved, or even killed for their faith.
It would be good to find out about this and then to pray for those who are victims in this way.*
We can pray that they will be sustained and that where possible they may receive
support from other Christians around the world.

Question for thought: How can I help those who are persecuted for their faith.
Gracious Lord, we pray for the persecuted church throughout the world and particularly
Mothers Union members. Give them courage and steadfastness and an abiding trust in you.
May they know your comfort and strength and that you are with them always. Amen.
