Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up the Christian workers across South Asia who are pouring themselves out for refugees and displaced people. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit — sustain these faithful servants in their isolation and risks. Guard them with Your peace that surpasses understanding when support feels thin. Reveal Jesus through their hands and words, touching hearts longing for hope. Let the communities they serve see Jesus in their compassion and hear of Him through each act of care. Embolden these workers with strength and courage that comes from Your presence. Father, open the eyes of leaders and authorities to recognize their labors, that they may find favor and protection. Your grace is sufficient for every trial they face; may it abound richly upon them. In the power of Your name, Amen.
