Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the city of Rawalpindi where darkness has brought sorrow and fear. Your eyes have seen the suffering of this young woman, and You do not forget the cry of the afflicted. Reveal Jesus to those who mourn, to neighbors filled with anger, and to communities gripped by tension. Bring peace where rejection and violence have sown discord. Guard believers who continue to witness in Rawalpindi; strengthen them with courage rooted in Your unfailing love. May justice roll down like waters across Pakistan, and let mercy rise in unlikely places. For the sake of Your holy name and by the power of Christ's resurrection, we trust You to bring life even from death. Amen.
