Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we bring before You the Zion Church leaders in China who face trials and judgments for their faith. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. Uphold these leaders with Your mighty hand, and let their hearts be steadfast, trusting in You. Reveal Jesus to the authorities and all who witness these events, that they might see His light shining through the darkness. Let Your justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream in the midst of these proceedings. Strengthen Your Church in China to endure with grace and to proclaim boldly the hope of the Gospel. We entrust these leaders and their congregations to Your faithful love, for You are their fortress and deliverer. Amen.
