Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the community of Dhala Sharif in Gujranwala, where a Christian man faces arrest over a blasphemy accusation. You see the turmoil and fear that accompany such charges, and You are near to the brokenhearted. Establish truth and justice in the proceedings, and protect the accused from harm and false testimony. Reveal Jesus to those who judge and those who accuse, that they might encounter the One who is full of grace and truth. Strengthen the believers in Gujranwala to stand firm in faith, and let Your light shine in the midst of accusation and darkness. May Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the sake of Your name and glory, Amen.
