Lord God, we thank you for Stephen. We thank you that he spoke boldly about Jesus, even though it cost him his life to do this.

We thank you that you supported Stephen in his suffering, and that Stephen is in heaven with you now. We thank you that Stephen’s story helped many people believe in Jesus. But we also know that people are still suffering like Stephen did in parts of our world today.
