Pray with the global church

Shepherd, You see the millions of Christians forced from their homes by violence and extremism. In lands where fear tries to rule, be the refuge and fortress for those who have lost their dwelling. Open the eyes of those who sow discord and let the light of Jesus penetrate even their hearts. Guard Your scattered flock as they journey into uncertainty, and grant them wisdom as they navigate foreign lands. Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. Bring beauty out of ashes, rebuilding what has been destroyed with Your unfailing love. Bring comfort to these sojourners and reveal Jesus through them to every land where they find rest. For You are our Shepherd and our Savior. Amen.
