Give thanks and praise to God for the role of the persecuted church in spreading the Gospel and proving genuine faith. “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus is revealed” (1 Pet 1:6-7). Pray for more men and women who will turn from persecuting believers to joining them in worship.
