The Cry of the Prophet
'He has buried me in a dark place
like those long dead.' Lamentations 3:6 (NLT)
Dear Father.
Thank
you for Your Word. I am reminded to pray for those men and women that
are in prison for being a Christ-follower. I pray for the missionaries
that are in hostile to the Christian faith nations. Please protect them
Lord. Shine Your Light upon them.
I
pray for those that love You and yet are called to make the ultimate
sacrifice and are martyred for their faith. Please continue to take care
of their loved ones. Wrap Your loving arms around them. I pray for
those among us, living in dark cells, cut off from family and friends,
often forgotten and yet alive. Their punishment, by evil men - for
believing and loving and doing good! Thank you that Your Love sustains
us and I thank you that Your Love sustains them.
I pray for Cam's surgery and for her eye-sight to be restored.
Just
as the prophet did then, I am reminded to pray for those who mourn
their circumstances and who have lost all hope. I pray that their hope
be restored and that their faith stay strong. I pray that their lives
and freedom be returned to them quickly. You are not a stranger to this
kind of torture and inhumane treatment. Remember the Cross and the Tomb.
God
forgive us for the evil ways we treat one another. We need hearts
changed. Things seem so upside down and turned around right now. But I
know that things are not as they appear. That You are shifting and
turning it all and are about to make a big change soon enough. We long
for the days of peace to return. Things are drawing to a close. This is
the end of the end. Our final hour is nearing. So we will wait until
that Great Day of the Lord appears. To God be the Glory.
In Jesus's name.
Amen
