Pray with the global church

Ancient of Days, we lift up the Coptic Church in Egypt as they face threats to their cultural heritage and religious freedom. You who know the end from the beginning, sustain these believers who hold fast to the faith once delivered to the saints. Strengthen them as living stones being built into a spiritual house, and let their witness shine brightly amid adversity. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose them, and make a way for justice to flow like a river in this land. Guard the dignity and history of the Coptic community, and let their endurance speak of Your enduring faithfulness. We entrust their future and hope to Your eternal hands, for the sake of Your glory. Amen.
