How to Pray for the Persecuted Church, Part 3 | June 24, 2023

Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
    and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! —Psalm 141:2 ESV

As you continue praying for the persecuted church around the globe, how does it change your perspective or maybe even your heart? Is God stirring anything in your heart?

How to Pray for Practical Needs

Along with praying from the Bible, you can pray for some of these practical needs:

• Pray that persecuted Christians would have access to a Bible.
• Pray for access to food and shelter.
• Pray that God would give persecuted Christians the right words to say.
• Pray that they would have opportunities to gather and that God would supply their needs for a community.
