Pray with the global church

Almighty God, our refuge and strength, we lift up the underground church in Iran facing persecution and loss. You see the lives taken and the chains placed upon Your people, yet You promise that nothing can separate us from Your love. Strengthen these believers with the power of Your Spirit, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Reveal Jesus to their persecutors, and let the light of Your Gospel break forth in Iran. Sustain the families of the imprisoned and the martyred, and let the testimony of Your faithful ones draw many to salvation. For the glory of Your name we pray, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
