Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
I pray for those who are trapped in slavery. I pray for their freedom and that You would work justice in this time. I pray also for those who are oppressed, especially those who are oppressed for their faith in You. Protect them and free them. Show me where I can help the oppressed and enslaved. Even more than their earthly freedom, I ask that You reveal to them the freedom they can have in You. For those who are already Your people, give them strength to endure.
Lord, I also pray for my family, friends, and neighbors who do not know You. They are enslaved as well to sin, death, and the devil. I pray that You would send them the Gospel through me or others and that they would receive it in faith when they hear. Give me boldness to speak and, when I do, give me the words to say.
(Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)
