Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we lift up the house church leaders and their defenders in Shaanxi, China, who stand firm amidst unjust accusations and confrontation. You have promised that when truth is lifted up, it shall set men free. Guard the hearts of these believers and their advocates as they seek justice and walk in peace amid hostility. Restrain those who oppose Your people, and let Your justice break forth like the dawn in these legal proceedings. Reveal Jesus to the authorities and communities watching, even to those whose hearts resist Him. Let peace reign where fear and control have taken root. May Your freedom reach into every part of China as Your name is proclaimed. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
