Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the people of Pakistan who face trials and persecution for their faith. Temples are torn down, and false accusations set mobs against the innocent. You see the fear in their eyes, and You know every injustice. Sustain Your people in Pakistan with strength that comes from above, guarding them from despair and bitterness. Let Your light shine into dark places, revealing Jesus to accusers and bystanders alike. Break through hardened hearts as You did with Saul on the Damascus road, drawing many to Your truth. Establish Your kingdom here, where freedom to worship and follow You is under threat. We trust You to work powerfully for Your name's sake, in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
