Pray with the global church

Father of Light, we lift up the persecuted believers across the world, whose faith shines in the midst of trials. You are the stronghold of their lives; whom shall they fear? Be their refuge and their fortress in every dark hour. Establish Your peace in war-torn lands, and shield Your people from those who seek their harm. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, and turn hearts from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God. Sustain the church under pressure and let their testimony be a beacon of Your grace. Strengthen the weary, embolden the timid, and let the hope of glory fill their hearts. We entrust them to Your steadfast love, in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen.
