Pray with the global church

God of all comfort, we lift up the believers in Shanghai whose gathering was disrupted by authorities. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit. Strengthen the hearts of this house church, that they may stand firm in their faith even as they face trials. Guard the pastor who has been detained, and let Your presence be a shield around him. Reveal Jesus to the officials and those who oppose Your name, that they might encounter the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Let Your light shine in the darkness of Shanghai, drawing many to Your truth and love. Establish Your reign in this city for the glory of Your name. Amen.
