Pray with the global church

Most High God, we lift up the Christians in Mauritania, especially those in the south facing increasing pressure. In a land where new converts face attacks and fear tries to take root, You see and know every heart turned toward You. Establish their steps as they walk by faith and not by sight. Guard these believers against oppression. Strengthen them with all power according to Your glorious might. Let courage rise from deep within, even when surrounded by danger. Pour out Your Spirit on their oppressors, that they too might come to know the grace of Jesus Christ. May Your kingdom advance with power and truth, bringing light into every darkened place. We rest in Your unfailing love and trust You to be both shield and deliverer. In the name of Jesus our Savior, Amen.
