Just a quick thought for the day. I read this morning about Paul of Tarsus' miraculous deliverance from prison. The church was praying for him! So many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are in prison, locked up simply because they are followers of Jesus. We must pray for them! Perhaps, even today, by our prayers, some will be miraculously released. Let's pray big prayers, knowing that we have a God for whom nothing is impossible!
If you need a prayer pointer, perhaps this one might help:
"Pray for those in solitary confinement and those facing torture and death, that even in the valley of the shadow of death they will know the comforting presence of the Lord. Pray that the Lord will do miracles in setting people free from imprisonment and oppression and that all the wicked plans of the enemy to destroy the church of God will fail." Psalm 23:4, Acts 12:7-11, Romans 16:20, 2 Thessalonians 3:2
