New Years Resolutions: Pray More
It's the time of year when many are planning and thinking about changes they want to make in their lives. Thousands of Americans...maybe even millions...will resolve to excercise more, to eat healthier food or some other change that they want to make in their lives.
On our Facebook page, we asked our friends if they would pray differently for persecuted Christians in 2014. Many said yes. Some said they would pray more faithfully. Others said they would pray with more knowlege and understanding. Some said they would pray for specific countries that they had not prayed for regularly in the past.
Prayer is the number one request of our persecuted brothers and sisters. It is the first thing they ask of VOM workers when we visit them. And their request is NOT that we'll pray that their suffering will stop and all the persecution will cease. Their request is that we pray that they will remain faithful in spite of the persecution they face.
What about you? Will you pray differently this year for persecuted Christians? More often? More passionately?
