praying for Christians

Recently it was the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. It is hard to imagine what it must be like for Christians around the world who suffer because they love Jesus. Living in a western country we have the freedom to practise our religion but for many people around the world they suffer as a result of loving Jesus. That is why it is so important that we pray for suffering Christians. We need to pray that they may perserve despite hardships. Why not start praying for them now?
