Prayer Points:

·God, I pray that your people (including myself) would have a knowledge of Scripture that leads to understanding, the ability to discern what you’re doing and the courage to partner with you, like Stephen did in front of the Sanhedrin.

·Lord, Stephen was bold in the face of extreme suffering. Would you teach your church to see suffering as something to be pursued and not avoided, but give us strength to endure suffering and to persevere.

·God, would you help me to love my enemies and would you teach your church to love their enemies in all circumstances.
