Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Mercy, we lift up the community in Canada affected by the arson attack on the historic church. In this time of loss and fear, we ask for Your comfort to surround those who mourn the destruction of their place of worship. You are the One who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds—bring healing to this community and renew their hope. Reveal Jesus to those who harbor animosity, that their hearts may be transformed by Your love. Protect the believers in Canada from further harm, and let their lives shine as beacons of peace and reconciliation. Establish Your Church on the firm foundation that no act of hostility can shake. We ask this for the glory of Your name, through Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
