Prayer starter

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. - Colossians 1:15-18

I thank you Lord, that you are the ruler seated on the throne, above everyone else. Principalities or darkness have no hold on your people. I pray right now that the people of China would be able to respect and pray for their government but not be bound by the restrictions that the government holds over people who believe in the one true God. I pray for wisdom and peace to rest upon your people as they navigate the restrictions of the government.
