God of Justice and Deliverance, we bring before You the situation in Syria, where a brother is unjustly confined and others face threats of arrest. You are the One who opens prison doors, as You did for Paul, and we ask You to intervene in Your might. Establish truth to reign in the hearts of those in authority, and let justice flow like a river across this land. Reveal Jesus as the true freedom to the jailers, the officials, and the communities watching. Sustain the believers in Syria, and let their faith shine brightly amidst darkness. For the sake of Your great name and the glory of Your kingdom, we entrust these situations into Your hands. Amen.
