Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the believers facing trial in Guizhou. As their faithfulness is being tested, be their shield and the fortress where they find strength. Let Your Word stand firm in them—though they walk through the valley of trial, may they fear no evil, for You are with them. Open the eyes of those who oppose these believers to see Your truth. Even as they sit in judgment, let them encounter the One who was crucified and is risen. Unfold new opportunities for Your church to grow amidst opposition and let children’s voices rise unimpeded in praise. Guard these families from despair; be their light and salvation as they face uncertain days. We entrust this situation into Your hands, asking all through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
