The need for prayer
There are many places
In the world where you
Must hide your praying.
If you don’t you may get
Caught and then arrested
Tortured and killed.
Many risk getting caught
Because it is more important
To pray and share with others
Then pretending you go along with
The false worship of the enemy.
Many will pray silently and
Also teach others to abide as
This savior will protect them
From harm. Faith in the risen
Lord makes living more peaceful
Many willingly face the chance
Of being caught because they believe
In Jesus and His protection. We
Should all have that degree of faith.
We can learn a lot from the Martyrs
Especially the willingness to face
Up to our oppressors, even if it
Means certain death. We know our
Savior will welcome us with open arms.
