Pray with the global church

God of Truth and Light, we lift up the nation of Iran as new laws seek to silence voices and close doors to outside understanding. You are the One who shines light into darkness and exposes all things to Your truth. We ask You to guard the truth in Iran, and let Your light pierce through every attempt to conceal it. Strengthen Your people in Iran with courage and wisdom, and let their lives be a beacon of hope and integrity. Reveal Jesus to those who seek to control the narrative, that even they might be drawn to the light of Your truth. Establish the freedom to speak and hear truth in this land, for Your glory and purpose. In Christ, who is the light of the world, we pray. Amen.
