Prayer based on Acts 5:40. Themes: Persecution, obedience, faithfulness.

Dear Lord, we pray for strength and courage in the face of persecution. Just as the apostles were beaten and commanded not to speak in your name, we may also face opposition for our faith. Help us to stand firm in our beliefs and to continue to proclaim your name boldly. May we never be silenced by fear or intimidation, but instead, may we trust in your protection and guidance. We pray for those who persecute us, that they may come to know your love and truth. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Verse: They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
