Pray →God of Justice and Truth, we lift up the Coptic believers in Tal al-Quiblya, where they have endured violence and intimidation. You have seen the stones and heard the cries, and You do not forget the suffering of Your people. Establish Your presence among them as a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, and let their faith not be shaken. Reveal Jesus to those who have participated in this violence, and turn the hearts of the oppressors toward repentance. Let the love of Christ abound in the Coptic community and shine as a light to their neighbors, breaking through the darkness. May reconciliation come not through human coercion but by Your Spirit's transforming power. To You belong all glory and honor, for You are the Defender of the weak and the Hope of the oppressed. Amen.
