Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up Pastor Wang Yi as he faces uncertainty and potential illness in prison. You know every hair on his head and the number of his days; hold him securely in Your hand. Pour out healing, strengthen his body, and grant access for his family to provide care and support. Reveal Jesus to the prison authorities and those watching over him, that they might see the truth of the One who sets captives free. Let Your Gospel shine brightly even in confinement, drawing hearts toward Your light. We entrust Pastor Wang Yi to Your care, believing in Your power to save and restore. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
