Comfort and strengthen each precious person who is suffering for righteousness sake and we ask that You would draw very close to each and every one so that in Your strength they may persevere in these troublesome times – and in so doing bring glory to Yourself and serve as a faithful witness.. to those that are lost in their sins, of Your grace and goodness. Support all those that are grieving for righteousness sake we pray, perhaps due to the loss of a loved one or severe deprivation, and comfort and succour each hurting hear.. and keep each one firm in the faith they have in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You Lord that there is not one of Your children who is lost to Your eyes of pity and we lift each and every one up to You in Jesus name, Amen
