Almighty God, You are sovereign. You stand by to see Your Word performed. Who can squash the outgoing of Your gospel? Persecution and trials have historically increased its spread. There is no power or principality that can eradicate Your Truth, for the Truth sets us free.
Chains cannot stop Your Truth. Prisons cannot contain it, just as the grave could not hold Jesus. Father, we ask humbly that You empower us to speak Your Truth with those You put in our path, that all may know and love You. We pray in the name and authority of our Risen Savior, Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.” (2 Timothy 2: 8-9 NKJV)
