Pray with the global church

God of Refuge and Strength, we lift up Faizal and the believers in Chhattisgarh who face threats and demands to renounce their faith in Jesus. You are our hiding place and shield; surround them with Your steadfast love and protect them from harm as they stand firm in their allegiance to Christ. Reveal Jesus to those who threaten and intimidate, that they may see the light of the Gospel and turn to You. Strengthen the believers with courage and peace, and let their witness shine brightly in the midst of hostility. May Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path as they navigate these trials. We ask this for the sake of Your name and glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
