Pray with the global church

Father, You reign above the kingdoms of this world, holding the hearts of rulers in Your hand. As tensions rise between Iran and Israel, we ask that You dismantle false powers and establish Your peace in Lebanon and Gaza. Let Your Kingdom come, confronting rival authorities and revealing the emptiness of human threats. We ask for Your protection over the innocent and peace to flow like a river through these lands. Father, expose the spiritual forces at work, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against rulers and authorities in high places. Deliver the region from evil, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May Your name be hallowed, drawing all people to see Your glory. In Jesus' name, amen.
