Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up Kachin State where military forces have occupied church grounds. You see every heart and know the suffering of Your people in these places. Guard the congregations as they navigate threats to their places of worship, and sustain them in faith and hope. Disarm those who use power for harm, and reveal Jesus to the militias and officials in Kachin State. Open eyes to see the Prince of Peace standing at their door. Let Your presence fill those church grounds again with worship and truth. For You alone are a refuge and strength, close by in trouble. In the name of Jesus, who is peace, Amen.
