Praying from 1 Thessalonians 2:15 relating to Sin, Persecution, Rejection
Dear Lord, we come before you with heavy hearts, acknowledging the sins of those who have killed both you, our Lord Jesus, and your prophets. We pray for their repentance and salvation. We also ask for your protection and guidance as we face persecution and are driven out. Help us to please you in all that we do and to be a light in the darkness. We pray for those who are contrary to all men, that they may come to know your love and truth. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
