Pray with the global church

God of Truth and Freedom, we lift up Päivi Räsänen as she faces restrictions for her expression of Christian beliefs. Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, guiding us even in the shadow of opposition. Establish justice and truth in this situation, and let Your light shine in the corridors where decisions are made. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your Word, turning hearts toward understanding and reconciliation. Strengthen believers who are facing similar challenges, and let their testimony be a beacon of Your love and righteousness. May Your truth prevail in the public square, and may the freedom to speak Your Word be upheld. We entrust this situation into Your hands, knowing that You are a refuge and a fortress for those who trust in You. In the name of Christ, Amen.
