Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the community of Pattoki in Pakistan, where Sadique, a Christian brick kiln worker, paid the ultimate price for quenching his thirst. You have seen the injustice done, and Your heart is moved by the suffering of the oppressed. Establish Your righteousness in Pattoki, and comfort the family and friends of Sadique with Your everlasting peace. Reveal Jesus to those who harbor hatred and division, turning hearts from stone to flesh. Protect the believers in Pakistan from fear, and let their lives reflect the light of Christ in this dark place. May Your Kingdom come in power and love, transforming communities and breaking down barriers. We trust in Your sovereign purposes and rest in the hope of Your coming reign. In the name of Jesus, our Redeemer, Amen.
