Pray with the global church

Holy One, we bring before You Malaysia and the growing fear among its people as their freedom of conscience comes under assault. You alone are the God who searches every heart and knows every hidden thought, and no power can withstand Your truth. Establish a spirit of boldness among those declaring their faith openly. Let light break forth in this nation where oppression seeks to thrive in the shadows. Reveal Jesus to government leaders and those who enforce unjust laws, transforming hearts bound by tradition or power. Sustain believers under pressure, guarding their hearts with Your peace that passes understanding. May they be living witnesses of the truth that sets all people free. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
