Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we lift up the believers of North Korea, whose courage is written in each line of those hand-copied Bibles and hymnals. Their faith burns steadily, even in deep darkness, holding fast to Your Word as a light to guide their feet through shadowed paths. Strengthen those who risk much for Your name, sustaining them in times of solitude and trial. Let their testimony speak louder than chains, that even the silent watchers might hear and turn to You. Reveal Jesus to leaders and guards who seek only control; meet them on their own Damascus roads, that eyes now blind may see. Embolden Your Church across this land with Your living Word, till every heart knows You are near. We ask it in the strong name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
