Pray with the global church

King of Heaven, we lift up Xu Yan in Beijing as she faces unjust barriers despite her perseverance and qualification. Let Your righteousness shine like the dawn and justice like the noonday sun over her situation. Guard her heart with peace that passes understanding as she walks this difficult path. Reveal Jesus to those who deny truth and fairness, softening hard hearts among officials and authorities. Let them encounter Your light that scatters darkness, and save them from their ways. Strengthen Xu Yan and all who bear witness to Your name in adversity. May they stand firm, knowing their labor in the Lord is not in vain. All glory and honor belong to You through Christ our Lord. Amen.
