In some countries, Christians risk their lives just for publicly naming the name of Jesus. They are secret believers, and they need our prayers.  Remember the persecuted.

Easter for Secret Believers

Our Father in heaven, may your family of believers around the world unite this weekend and glorify the risen Lord.

Whether we are

praying at a sunrise service
whispering in an underground church service
witnessing your creation at sunrise
watching a service from a hospital bed
singing in the choir
shivering in a prison cell
reading your Word with our family in secret

OR

praying the Lord’s Prayer in a mosque

…we are the body of Christ.

And we worship you.

Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna for evermore!
