Lord Jesus, all glory and honor are due Your name. Thank You for tearing the veil and allowing me to come boldly before Your throne. The church, Your bride, faces threat and attack across the globe. You are not surprised. This in not new, though it has come closer to home in the US, where we thought freedom to worship was protected by our founding documents.
You are still in control. You are still on the throne. Your justice comes. Your beloved will be recompensed.
Prepare us to stand firm on Your Word. Let the power of our prayers increase. May we not forget to pray for those who oppose. May we entreat for the salvation of those who don’t know, love, trust and follow You. Be glorified in the outcome in Your name above all names, in Your authority that is greater than any other, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 1: 11-12 NKJV)
