Most High God, we stand in awe of Your justice and truth as we lift up the church in Pakistan, facing deep trials under harsh blasphemy laws. We entrust this brother sentenced to death into Your hands, knowing that You uphold all who are cast down and hear the cries of the oppressed. Let freedom reign in this land, breaking through every chain of injustice. May truth prevail over these proceedings, shining light where shadows seek to hide deceit. Touch the hearts of prosecutors and judges alike — reveal Jesus to them, opening their eyes just as You turned Saul’s heart from persecution to proclamation. Strengthen believers across Pakistan, empowering them to stand firm in faith despite opposition. Establish Your Kingdom in every corner of this nation for the glory of Your name and the advance of Your Gospel. Amen.
