Pray with the global church

Holy God, we mourn with the family of our fallen brother in Libya, whose faith was stronger than the fear of death. He bore Your name courageously, and we ask You to embolden every believer there to stand firm in the face of threats and violence. Guard their hearts and minds with the peace that surpasses all understanding, even when surrounded by danger. Reveal Jesus as the Light of the World to those who walk in darkness, including those who killed him — that they too might turn from hatred and find life in His name. Keep this young man's testimony alive to speak hope into Libya's uncertain shadows. Your strength is made perfect in our weakness; show Your might here for the glory of Your name. Amen.
