Pray with the global church

Faithful Shepherd, we lift up Joseph, Nasser, and Aida, imprisoned in Iran for their faith and simple acts of worship. You have promised that when we walk through fire, we shall not be burned, and the flames will not set us ablaze. Guard these believers in the midst of their trials, and sustain them with Your strength and peace. Reveal Jesus to their captors and the authorities who hold them, that they may see the light of the world. Let the truth of the Gospel shine brightly in Iran, touching hearts and transforming lives. Strengthen Your Church there, that even in adversity, joy and hope might flourish. Establish Your kingdom and let Your will be done in this place, for the glory of Your name. Amen.
