Pray with the global church

God of Truth and Freedom, we lift up the situation of Gao Zhen in China, where artistic expression is met with imprisonment and silence. You see those who are bound for their words and crafts, and You have promised that the truth will set us free. Establish justice in this land and let light shine in the darkness, revealing the freedom found in Christ. Strengthen the hearts of those who stand for artistic freedom, and let courage rise among believers who face similar threats. Turn the hearts of officials and those in authority to see the value of truth and freedom. Let Your justice roll down like waters, bringing hope and liberation. We entrust this to Your hands, for You are faithful. Amen.
