Pray with the global church

God of Mercy, we bring before You the suffering endured by prisoners in China, where many face torture and denial of care. Hear their cries and bring relief to those languishing in fear and pain. Restrain the hands of those who inflict harm and dismantle the systems that perpetuate injustice. Reveal Jesus to the persecutors, prison officials, and all who witness these injustices — let them see Him as the One who redeems even the hardest hearts. Establish justice in places where oppression has had free rein, and sustain the faith of believers who are tested under harsh conditions. For Your name is a strong tower, and it is to You we entrust these lives, through Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
