Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up Iran in this time when unjust executions cast a shadow over the land. You are enthroned above all human authority — even the decisions of rulers and courts cannot overshadow Your justice. Make righteousness shine forth, for You alone can deliver the oppressed from the snare of the wicked. Guard those facing execution, strengthen their spirits, and let hope rise within them even in darkness. Confound the plans of those who work unrighteousness and reveal Jesus to officials, families, and communities across Iran. Let Your Kingdom break through like dawn over this nation, for every knee will bow to Jesus who rules with truth and grace. We trust in Your justice that never fails. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
