For Martyrs

Victorious Savior,
All over the world, those whose names are written in the Book of Life are being ushered into heaven as martyrs. Many who call you Savior are surrounded by servants of Satan who hate Christianity and are so deceived by their false god that they believe murder is commendable and praiseworthy. Whenever possible, Lord, turn them from the darkness of their blind unbelief to see the light of real love, joy, and peace in you. But when their obstinate hearts remain hard, make their hellish plans come to ruin and carry out justice and vengeance accordingly. Use the deaths of dedicated Christian martyrs as a striking witness to the power of the gospel, so that others cannot help but take notice. Let the blood of martyrs not be spilled in vain; by their exemplary faith, inspire other Christians, draw unbelievers to you, and build your church through the very efforts of those seeking to destroy it.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Those in Prison

Ever-Present Father,
While society often overlooks those behind bars, let those in prison know that you, Lord, never do. When we pray for justice to be carried out, it means that those who commit crimes will face consequences for their actions. When those consequences include jail time, steer them away from violence and cruelty toward others. Meet their physical needs, protecting them from harm and danger. Make known to them that they are not forgotten or rejected by you. Whether they are people of faith or not, lead them to seek you out so that they may know the One whose arms are always open to welcome the wayward and the lost. Maximize their time in prison by providing many opportunities to be in your Word and grow in faith. Your Word reveals that you specialize in transforming guilty sinners into saved saints to carry out your service. Therefore, let your grace continue to set prisoners spiritually free, so that they may enjoy life to the full and eagerly serve you in your kingdom when you grant their physical freedom. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
