Pray with the global church

God of Deliverance, we lift up the Christian family freed from the brick kiln in Pakistan, trusting in Your steadfast love to surround them in their fear. You are the refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble. Guard their hearts and minds with the peace that surpasses understanding, protecting them from retaliation and harm. Reveal Jesus to those who have oppressed them, transforming hearts and turning enemies into friends. Let Your truth shine brightly in this place, dispelling the darkness of exploitation with the light of Your presence. For You are faithful, and Your perfect love casts out fear. May Your justice and mercy be known in Pakistan, bringing freedom to captives and hope to the weary. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen.
