praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters

Reading this morning about the 220 Christians abducted in Syria. Praying that the Spirit of God will cover and carry each and every one of them and their family members with His strength, hope, and love today.  Praying for God to intervene in His supernatural and miraculous ways in the lives of persecuted Jesus followers and their persecutors around the world.   

 

Romans 8:35-39

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
