James Chapter 5 v13 Asks the question, 'Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.'
The sad truth is that many Christians around the world are afflicted because of their faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
In recent days a Pastor in the Punjab province of Pakistan had his home attacked by a Muslim mob and a 12 year old Christian girl was forced to marry a 37 year old Muslim man, the girl's mother is currently trying to get her daughter back through the courts.
It is not only Muslims who are persecuting God's people, in Communist China a Christian book shop owner was sentenced to 3 years in prison and fined 150,000 yuan (£13,000) for 'illegal business operation', i.e. selling Christian Literature.
As God's people we need to pray for our afflicted brethren across the world, remember, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.' James 5 v16
