A Prayer for Persecuted Christians Around the World
Your Daily Prayer
Millions of Christians around the world face persecution for their faith. How can we remember them and stand with them in prayer?
In today's Your Daily Prayer, Christine F. Perry reflects on Hebrews 13:3, which calls believers to remember those who are imprisoned and mistreated.

This devotional also draws on the 2026 World Watch List from Open Doors and reminds us that the persecuted church is not separate from us. We are one body in Christ.
Even when we don't know the names of those who are suffering, we can pray for them.
Today, we ask God to strengthen persecuted believers, comfort their families, protect those in danger, and give them peace, healing, courage, and hope.
Today's Scripture:
“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, those who are mistreated, since you yourselves are in the body also.” — Hebrews 13:3
