A Prayer for Christians

A Prayer for Christians

Pray for the Brethren. 
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
 Who today are in prison for what they believe.

Pray for the Brethren,
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Who are living under persecution,

Pray for the Brethren
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Who are suffering for their faith.

Pray 
for those who Persecute us
That they may see 
“The Light”,

Pray for the Brethren
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Who are living in the western nations blessed with freedom,

Pray for the Brethren
Brothers and sisters in Christ.
Who are being led away by those who claim to be of Christ, 
but are not.

Jude wrote,
“But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 
“They said to you, 
“In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”  
These are the men who divide you, 
who follow mere natural instincts 
and do not have the Spirit. 
But you, dear friends, 
build yourselves up in your most holy faith
 and pray in the Holy Spirit.  
Keep yourselves in God’s love
 as you wait
 for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ 
to bring you to eternal life. 
Be merciful to those who doubt; 
 snatch others from the fire and save them; 
to others show mercy, mixed with fear—
hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”
Jude 1:17-23

Please pray.
