Our Father in Heaven, we pray for protection of all Christians this Easter. We especially pray for Christians who worship in unregistered churches, house churches and in secret.

• Pray for church leaders in areas where persecution of Christians is a daily threat. Ask God to give them His wisdom and guidance as they shepherd His Church.
• Pray for protection for Christians in the run-up to Easter when they may face greater threats.
• Pray for protection for all Easter services taking place this weekend.
• Give thanks for prisoner releases in Burma and pray for true freedom and peace to reign.
• Lord Jesus as we remember your death, we pray that You would comfort those who have loved ones because of religiously motivated violence.
• Jesus told us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us. Today, pray for all those who are persecuting religious believers around the world.
