Sin and Shin
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166 Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. (KJV)
Our Father,
We have peace within us because of the promises of your Word; our hope of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord is confirmed in your teaching. We rejoice continually for the truth you have given to us.
But there are those who say that your Word and teaching causes discrimination and division and needs to be done away with or changed in this modern culture. There are also those around the world who persecute believers in your Word and Son Jesus.
Some have called the last decade a new age of martyrs. We cry to you for all those going through persecution and harm for their faith in your Word and Son. Turn these times around and let there be a great harvest among the very ones who are persecuting your people. Let revival come and enliven your Word through signs and wonders, miracles and healing in every nation, people, and tongue.
In Jesus name, Amen.
