We prayed for Saeed Abedini to be released from prison in Iran.  His crime is believing in Jesus as the salvation for the world.
We also prayed for Meriam Ibrahim who has been sentenced to death in Sudan for the crime of believing that Jesus redeemed her through His sacrifice on the cross.

We were thankful for the following truth:
     Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk        not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 
     Rom 8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin        and death.

We were also thankful for those those died for our freedoms and for those who fought and continue to fight for them.
We are thankful for what Jesus did for us:
       Rom 8:33  Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 
       Rom 8:34  Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was              raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 

This song (or the chorus of this song) has been on my heart for several days:

       Living, He loved me, dying, He save me
       Buried, He carried my sins far away
       Rising, He justified freely forever
       One day He's coming, oh, glorious day.
