"Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body." -Hebrews 13:3 (NASB)
Even though we might enjoy freedom to worship openly, there are others in the world that do not enjoy the same freedom. Some people can be imprisoned - or worse - just for proclaiming a belief and faith in God. When we say our prayers, we should remember all those that are punished for their unwavering faith.
In Hebrews (13:3), we are reminded to remember prisoners as though we are one of them. Our fellow believers are part of the body of Christ. Just like when our physical bodies are not at their best when one part is injured, when other believers are suffering, the entire body of believers feels the pain. We may not be able to be everywhere trying to free everyone of our brothers and sisters imprisoned for their beliefs, but we can support them in prayer, asking God to change hearts so that the body of Christ can be free and complete!
Pray for those that are imprisoned for their belief in the one true God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the freedom that I have to worship You. Please be with each and every believer that is imprisoned because of their belief in You. Please support them allow the body of Christ on earth to continue to work for Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
