Almighty God, who is like You? No one can squelch Your gospel. Persecution extends Your territory and strengthens the resolve of believers. Give us holy boldness to continue speaking the forgiveness, salvation, redemption and rebirth of the good news that Jesus died to atone for all sin, then rose to defeat death and the grave. Glory be to the One True God who gives life, forgives sin and redeems the soul! No other deity does that.
You have no equal. You are Jehovah, I AM. You are with those being bullied and persecuted. Grant them Your comfort and strength. Bolster their faith and embolden their spirits in the name and authority of Jesus, who died that we may live, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“This salutation by my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.” (Colossians 4:18 NKJV)
You are blessed this day and everyday.
