Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we bring before You the persecuted church in China, where believers gather with courage amidst opposition. You promised that Your sheep hear Your voice and follow You. Speak peace into their hearts and sustain their faith in these days of trial. Reveal Jesus to those who stand against Your people, that eyes once blind may see light, and hearts gripped by fear may find hope. Guard the gatherings of Your people, and let Your Word reach across borders and barriers, uniting believers far and wide in spirit. Cause justice to flow like a river in this land. Let mercy accompany those who suffer for righteousness' sake. All for the glory of Your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
