Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up the wife of Pastor Joseph Shahbazian in Iran as she faces a 13-year prison sentence. You have sustained Your servants through every trial and will uphold her to the end. Let her life shine with Your righteousness, even within prison walls, as Joseph's did in Egypt. Reveal Jesus to those guarding and imprisoning her, that their hearts might turn from darkness to light. Strengthen the church in Iran, and let their love and faithfulness testify of Jesus Christ. Open the eyes of authorities and officials to the truth of the Gospel. May Your peace guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus, as You advance Your kingdom in this land. For Your glory, Redeemer. Amen.
