Pray with the global church

Sovereign Lord, we lift up the detained church leaders and their congregations in China, where Your name is proclaimed under increasing scrutiny and pressure. You are the One who watches over Your people, and no scheme of man can thwart Your purposes. Strengthen these leaders in their resolve and faith, making them steadfast and immovable in the face of intimidation. Reveal Jesus to those who interrogate and detain, and let the light of Your truth shine into places of power and oppression. Guard the hearts of the believers in China, that they may be filled with courage and peace. Let the Gospel continue to spread across the land, breaking through every barrier. To You belong authority, righteousness, compassion, and glory forever through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
