Pray with the global church

Lord God, we lift up the people of Pakistan as blasphemy accusations decline but deep concerns linger. You alone know the hearts of those who sow discord and fear among Your people. Establish Your justice in this land, and let truth prevail in all things. Sustain the believers who still walk under threat, that they might not grow weary or lose heart. Unveil Jesus to leaders and communities across Pakistan. Open their eyes to see Him who has borne our sorrows and carried our transgressions. Strengthen the witness of Your church there, that it might shine with love and grace even amidst tension. We ask this for Your name’s sake, trusting that light will pierce every shadow. Amen.
