Lead us not to the test

Let us all pray about Christian persecution.
In the heat of Christian life challenges many still undergo serious persecution. Intercessors wake up! Wake up O you sleeper in the Lord and take up the course of interceding for all true Christians; the Christian life today is under so much, for example check out this story from Saudi Arabia:
Recently, a Saudi member of the religious police cut his daughter’s tongue off and burned her to death for converting to Christianity.The father, who works for the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, killed his daughter following a debate on religion, according to a report by the United Arab Emirates-based Gulf News.Media organizations in Saudi Arabia are reporting that the victim wrote a bog under the name "Rania" a few days before her murder. According to the Saudi Arabia Ukhdoud news website, the victim wrote that her life became an ordeal after family members grew suspicious about her after a religious discussion with them. She said her brother found some Christian articles written by her as well as a cross sign on her computer screen. Since then he started to insult her and blamed the Internet for pushing her to change her religion. Gulfnews.com reported.Saudi religious scholars frequently warn against the dangers of Christian Web sites and satellite television, which they say attract young Muslims to change their faith. They [Muslim scholars] decreed that watching these channels or browsing these websites which call for conversion to Christianity by various means is against the teachings of Islam, the Web site reported"Our contacts have told us of new Christians simply disappearing when their families learned of their conversion," said Todd Nettleton, Director of Media Development for The Voice of the Martyrs, "but now even Arab media outlets confirm the violent response of radical Muslims to Christianity. We pray that someday this man will come to know Christ, and find forgiveness for ending his daughter’s life. Our hope is that someday he will see his daughter again, in heaven."The Voice of the Martyrs supports the evangelism efforts of Christians in Saudi Arabia, despite the great cost."We call on Christians everywhere to pray for believers facing intense persecution in Saudi Arabia because of their faith," said Nettleton. "Pray God will encourage them and give them boldness to stand up for Christ." (Source: http://www.persecution.com/)
Many things have been happening in recent times; and Yes! We understand that Christians will face persecution but it is our duty to pray that our dear brothers and sisters will not loose their faith but even rejoice for the course of Christ. In all truth, Our Lord Jesus left us an example that we must all follow, in his time he prayed for our dear Peter even before he went into temptation that his faith will not fail but return better to strengthen the others; likewise in our day we too need to pray for all that will undergo persecution of any kind, that if they had to return from it, they may be stronger than ever and if not, then Our Father should grant them perfect fulfillment in heaven.
My dear, what are you doing today?
