Today is an International Day of Prayer – especially dedicated to those who are oppressed because of their faith. Those of us who live in a place of religious freedom might find it difficult to understand what it’s like to live in fear of reprisals because of faith, but there are many places in which darkness seeks to overcome light.

Today, and throughout the weeks and months ahead, lift up a special prayer for those who have faith, but who are fearful. That they may be strengthened and have courage knowing that we, around the world, are holding them in supportive, encouraging prayer.

Joy and peace,

Maureen
