We desire in our prayers to remember those who are in prison for the testimony of Jesus, as in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since we also are in the body. Hebrews 13:3(ESV) O send from on high and rescue them from those who hate them, Psalm 18:16-17(ESV) and bring them out into a broad place. Psalm 18:19(ESV)
O let not the scepter of wickedness rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous should stretch out their hands to do wrong. Psalm 125:3(ESV)
Awake, awake, put on strength, O
arm of the LORD; awake, as in days of old, as in the generations of long ago,
and make the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed of the Lord to pass over.
Isaiah
51:9-10(ESV)
Because the poor are plundered
and the needy groan, arise now, O LORD, and place them in the safety for which
they long. Psalm

O strengthen the endurance and
faith of your suffering saints, Revelation
13:10(ESV) that they may wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations

O let the year of your redemption
come, Isaiah
63:4(ESV) and the year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Isaiah

O that salvation for Israel would
come out of Zion; and when the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let
Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad. Psalm 14:7(ESV)
O let not the downtrodden turn
back in shame, but let the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm
74:21(ESV)
Lord, arise and have pity on
Zion, and let the time to favor her, the appointed time, come; Psalm
102:13(ESV) indeed, let the LORD build up Zion and appear in his glory.
Lord, regard the prayer of the destitute and do not despise their prayer. Psalm
102:16-17(ESV)
O Lord GOD, please cease: How can
Jacob stand, for he is so small? Amos 7:5(ESV)
O make your face to shine upon that part of your sanctuary, which is desolate,
for your own sake, O Lord. Daniel 9:17(ESV)
Let the groans of the prisoners
come before you, and according to your great power, preserve those who for your
name’s sake are doomed to die. Psalm
79:11(ESV)
Let those whose teachers have
been removed, again see their teachers, though they have the bread of adversity
and the water of affliction. Isaiah

Let us be on the side of those who sit in jails
and are sentenced to death for their faith. Let us pray for them and help them.

Many people think of our times as being the
last before the end of the world. The evidence of horror all around us makes
this seem possible. But isn't that an idea of only minor importance? Doesn't
every human being, no matter which era he lives in, always have to reckon with
being accountable to God at any moment? Can I know whether I'll be alive
tomorrow morning? A bomb could destroy all of us tonight. And then my guilt
would not be one bit less than if I perished together with the arth and the
stars.
