Pray with the global church

Defender of the oppressed, we lift up the village of Taybeh, where escalating attacks have scattered and diminished its Christian community. You are the refuge and strength of those who call on Your name. Establish Your shalom within Taybeh's borders, and let peace surround her like a fortress. Reveal Your Spirit as the one who stands guard over these families, protecting their homes and livelihoods. Let not their hearts be troubled, but fill them with the peace that surpasses understanding. Draw near to those who feel abandoned, and let Your presence be their stronghold. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute and to all watching from afar, that they may see the light of truth and turn from paths of harm. For Your glory and in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
