Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up the believers across China facing a new wave of crackdowns against their gatherings. In a land where the light seems constrained, let Your Word run swiftly and unhindered, breaking through every barrier set against it. Strengthen Your people to endure with grace when authorities seek to silence their worship. Reveal Jesus to officials who enforce these restrictions, and let hearts be turned as Saul's was on the Damascus road. Plant courage deep in those who gather despite fear, and raise up witnesses who speak truth in love. Let the power of Your resurrection break into dark places for Your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
