Pray with the global church

Maker of Heaven and Earth, we bring before You the land of Turkey where the shadow of jihad seeks to dim the light of Christ. You alone plant and sustain Your Church; root her deeply, even in hard soil, that she may flourish. Protect those who stand firm in faith amidst rising tides of pressure and history's weight. Reveal Jesus to those blinded by animosity and deception, and turn hearts toward the One who breaks every dividing wall. Let the peace of Christ rule in Turkey, reaching into communities marked by conflict and fear. Let love drive out fear among believers, enabling them to witness with grace. In the name of Jesus, who reigns over all tribes and tongues. Amen.
