Pray with the global church

Most High God, we lift up Hong Kong and Joshua Wong, imprisoned for his pursuit of justice and truth. You see every heart and every secret place; do not let injustice stand unchallenged. Sustain Joshua within those prison walls, granting him strength as he waits upon You in the midst of trial. Reveal Jesus in Hong Kong amidst the crackdown, that even those who oppose Your name might be drawn into the light of His love. Raise up believers with courage to shine brightly in this darkness, and embolden them to keep sharing Your truth without fear. In Your wisdom and power, turn hearts toward righteousness for the sake of Your glory. We rest in Your unfailing promise that those who hope in You will not be put to shame. Amen.
