Holy God, we lift before You the Christian communities of Turkey, diminished in number yet steadfast in faith. Your Word promises that even a bruised reed You will not break, and in their enduring presence, we see Your sustaining hand. Restore dignity to these Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, and Jews who have faced decades of inequality and denial. Let justice roll like a river across Turkey. Reveal Jesus to the officials and citizens alike, that many would find the truth and peace in Him. Guard these communities with wisdom and strength, that they might bear witness to love and reconciliation. May Your kingdom come in Turkey as it is in heaven. Amen.
