Matthew 5:10-12 (NLT)
10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
Let’s join together to pray for our students who are persecuted because of their faith in Jesus. Jesus, give us compassion and wisdom in knowing how to encourage and pray for our students, many of who suffer greatly because of their faith.
