Pray with the global church

Faithful Shepherd, we lift up the Christian community in Pakistan, standing alongside them in their distress and uncertainty. You are the defender of the fatherless and the protector of the vulnerable. We ask You to intervene in the life of this young girl, bringing her justice and freedom from oppression. Shield her heart and mind from the lies that this man is giving her and strengthen her to remember the promises that You, Father, speak to her heart. Expose the hidden works of darkness and let truth shine forth, guiding the hearts of those in authority toward righteousness. Comfort her family with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and strengthen the believers in Pakistan as they face trials for Your name. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, drawing them from darkness into Your marvelous light. For the honor of Your name and for the sake of Your beloved ones, we trust in Your steadfast love. Amen.
