Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up Ikhlaq Masih and the believers in Nasrat Colony, seeking Your shelter for those who face violence and intimidation. Strengthen Ikhlaq's heart as he heals, that fear would not find a home within him. You see the injustice, and You remember each name. Reveal Jesus to those who attacked him and let redemption bloom where hatred once took root. Guard the homes and hearts of all Christians in Sheikhupura, letting Your peace stand as their shield and fortress. Show Your mercy to officials, neighbors, and families watching this unfold; lead them to know the Savior who forgives all sins. You are our refuge and strength; we trust You to uphold justice and bring hope anew. Amen.
