Pray with the global church

God of Peace and Reconciliation, we lift up Iran and the United States as they prepare to engage in renewed talks. You are the One who causes wars to cease and who speaks peace to the nations. Establish pathways of understanding and mutual respect between these leaders, and let wisdom guide every conversation. Reveal Jesus to those who sit at negotiating tables, and let them seek true peace for the sake of their people. Guard the Middle East from further conflict, and let justice and righteousness take root in this region. For the glory of Your name and the healing of nations, we ask these things, trusting in Your unending mercy. Amen.
