God of Justice and Compassion, we bring before You the situation in Indonesia, where a Christian pastor has been sentenced under blasphemy laws. You see every injustice and hear the cry of those who suffer for Your name. May Your truth shine brighter than any accusation, and may Your presence be a refuge for this pastor during imprisonment. Establish Your peace in Indonesia, and turn the hearts of those who oppose Your word. Let the light of Christ be revealed to both the persecuted and the persecutors, that they might see the beauty of the One who is the way, the truth, and the life. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in this nation, for the glory of Your name, Amen.
