*🔹PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED*

*_Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10_*

The Lord Jesus encouraged the church in Smyrna; likewise, let us pray for His special grace upon the *Persecuted Saints*, for them to stand firmly rooted in faith through suffering and persecution, even if it means death, with the promise of receiving the “crown of life” as a reward.
