Pray with the global church

God of All Wisdom, we lift up Your church in Iran as new legislation threatens their freedom to worship and witness. You have promised to build Your church, and no force of man can prevail against it. Establish unity among the believers, that they may be one as You and the Son are one, and let Your Spirit of wisdom and revelation guide them into all truth. Guard them as they stand firm under pressure, and mature their faith as they grow together in love. Reveal Jesus to lawmakers, officials, and all who watch from a distance, that Your light may shine in the darkness and draw many to salvation. We trust that in all things You work for the good of those who love You, and we commit the believers of Iran into Your faithful hands. In the name of Jesus, our hope and peace. Amen.
