Pull them out of the super-heated furnace

Change the king's mind before the danger begins

Remove every danger from their lives at once

Keep serving God and speak with calm confidence that he can rescue

Assume God helps only if you prove yourself worthy

Choose safety first and leave obedience for later

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I need your rescue. I admit that I have sinned and I cannot save myself. I turn from my sin and trust that you died for my sins and rose again. I believe you have the power to save me, and I confess you as my Lord. Deliver me from sin, fear, and every power that holds me, and make me yours. Amen.

Lord, Rescue Me

Lord, revive your church to serve you with boldness when pressure rises. Where we have become quiet, fearful, or divided, make us faithful again. Teach us to trust your power, to stand firm, and to speak hope in hard places, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church with Courage

Father, thank you that no furnace is too hot for your power and no human hand is too strong for your rescue. Thank you that you are the God who saves those who serve you. Fill my heart with gratitude and steady trust, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Rescue

Begin by naming the pressure that feels like a furnace. Then confess that God is able to rescue, and ask him for courage to keep serving him whether the situation changes quickly or slowly.

Pray Through the Furnace

Pray for: Christians facing threats or intimidation; believers tempted to compromise for safety; courage to keep serving God; protection, comfort, and clear trust in his power.

For Believers Under Pressure

Father, when I feel trapped, teach me to keep serving you. Strengthen my faith to believe you can rescue, and help me leave the outcome in your hands while I do what is right, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Steady Faith in Hard Places
