God, my heart aches for people around the world who are trapped in difficult situations against their will. Use this time to open my mind and understand their plight. Remind me to pray for the heroes on the front lines who are fighting the battle for justice. Give me a passion to be their advocate—a force on my knees—for each adult and child fighting large battles. I pray our scripture verse for today for those Christian workers laboring on the front lines around the world. “Ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come” (Ephesians 1:15-21). Teach me, Lord. In Your holy name, amen.
