When Faith Is Forbidden: On the Frontlines With Persecuted ChristiansSample

Lord God, thank You that, with You, even a prison cell can be wonderful. Today, I bring my challenging situation to You (name a challenging situation you are facing). Your Word tells me to “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Phil. 4:4), and so right now, I choose to rejoice in spite of my circumstances. I ask that, like Sister Tong, I can experience a special closeness with Jesus, even in a setting I didn’t want or plan to be in. Please give me spiritual eyes to see the needs of those around me, and a willingness to speak Your name and Your love to those I encounter. Amen.
