Jesus came so we could see God and be saved from our enemies. But today, Christians are being attacked in difficult parts of the world and in places where most people wouldn't expect it. God sent Jesus to save us from sin and its power once and for all. Let's pray that our great God will do great things in our world today to save His children from tyranny, poverty, violence, abuse, and ridicule. Let's also pray that God gets the glory for it.

Prayer

Holy and righteous Father, please help all of Your beloved children who are being attacked. Show them that You will save them by displaying Your great power. You have saved us and bought us back. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
