Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the church in China facing restrictions and surveillance. You see all things, even in secret, and Your eyes watch over Your people with unfailing love. Strengthen those detained for their faith and guard their hearts with peace that passes understanding. Establish courage in the believers who continue to gather despite danger. Reveal Jesus to the officials and citizens called to report on their neighbors, and open their hearts to the one true freedom found in Him. Let Your Word run swiftly across China, overcoming every obstacle placed before it. For Your name's sake, sustain these communities of faith until justice is established and all know that You are Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
