Dear Father, we thank You

Dear Father, we thank You for these people who are such shining examples of faith, perseverance, and courage. Today would You make your presence known to them in a very real way? Would You give them a sense of Your peace which passes all understanding? Above all, I ask that You give them a heart of love for those who are persecuting them so that they may be witnesses for You amidst the storm they are facing. In Jesus name. Amen
