Heavenly Father, we can see through scripture those who desire that Christ may be magnified in their bodies have a holy indifference whether it be by life or death and may rejoice in all their tribulations as Christ’s witnesses, knowing that the Word of God cannot be Imprisoned and that though things do not turn to their comfort in this world, by God’s grace, they will be made to turn to the salvation of others. Lord, may our heart’s cry be the same as that of the Apostle Paul who declared, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.'” Physical suffering and persecution for the sake of Christ will prove our faith to be genuine and will gain for us a crown of life. Suffering and persecution here on earth is temporal, but a crown of life is eternal! Help us to live not just for the here and now, but set our affections on that which is forever so that we stay the course! May our faith in You increase. And may our resolve to stand firm intensify as we see the day of Your return approaching. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
