Chris.
Persecutors of the Church and Believers want to chain us. This can mean all kinds of things in different situations. The summary meaning is that they want to render our service for the Lord ineffective through whatever means they can. Jesus encourages us to pray for those who persecute us and to Bless them in our prayers.
