Dear Lord, I pray for those Christians who are victims of persecution in Iraq and around the world. Guide them Lord and keep them safe and away from danger. It must be a tough time for them and they really need your mercy. But for your glory these people keep their faith in you. I believe you have a purpose; I believe that in the end of it all, You our Lord will prevail among all these oppressors. Its heartbreaking to know about their suffering so I pray and beg for your mercy for them. Spare them Lord and touch the Life of the oppressors just the way you touched apostle Paul's life.
