Pray with the global church

Most High God, we lift up Alexandria, where a Coptic Christian engineer faces accusation and arrest for his faith. You see the struggles of Your people in Egypt, and You do not abandon them. We ask that You guard this believer with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and strengthen the Church to stand firm in unity and grace. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute Your name, softening hearts even among authorities and educators. Let justice roll on like a river across Egypt's schools and communities, where truth can flourish without fear. Embolden believers to speak with wisdom and courage, knowing that their labors in the Lord are not in vain. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
