Pray with the global church

Ancient of Days, we bring before You the believers of Iran who face severe persecution. You know each name and every heart that has been faithful unto death. Strengthen those imprisoned for Your name, and let Your presence be their comfort and peace. We ask that Your Word, sharper than any double-edged sword, would reach into the hearts of their captors, revealing the truth of the Gospel. Establish Your Kingdom in Iran, turning even the hearts of officials who oppose You. Let the light of Christ shine brightly in the underground churches, that many in Iran would see and turn to You. May justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream, for Yours is the power and the glory forever. Amen.
