Pray with the global church

Lord God, we lift up the global body of Christ as they stand firm in places of persecution and hardship. You see every soul seeking to live in truth amidst threats and discrimination, and Your ear is not dull to their cries. Strengthen their hands for the good work of the Gospel, and let their light shine boldly where darkness tries to overwhelm. In nations where believers face ostracization, reveal Jesus as the One who breaks every chain. Save those who persecute them by meeting them on their own Damascus roads, turning foes into friends of Christ. Establish Your kingdom in these lands, that Your will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. We trust Your promise that though we may walk through fire, You are with us. Amen.
