Pray with the global church

God of Hope and Enduring Promise, we lift up the underground Church in Iran as persecution intensifies. You see the trials faced by believers there, yet Your light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Strengthen Your people in Iran with courage and perseverance as they continue to grow in faith and disciple one another despite the risks. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose them, that their hearts may be softened and turned towards Your love. Equip the Church with wisdom and boldness, and let their witness be a beacon of hope to a nation seeking truth. May Your Kingdom come in Iran, for the glory of Your name and the sake of every searching soul. We trust in Your unfailing love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
