Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we bring Libya before You after the tragic martyrdom of a Coptic Christian who bore Your name unto death. You have called Your followers to be witnesses, and this brother stood firm in his confession of Christ. Sustain the believers in Libya and Egypt, comforting those who grieve, with the hope of resurrection that does not fade away. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, turning hearts from violence to peace and salvation. Let Your light shine in the darkness, drawing many into the shelter of Your love. Protect the church under threat and embolden them to stand with courage as they proclaim the Gospel across their land. To You belong strength, salvation, and glory forever. Amen.
