Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we bring before You the people of Mozambique as they grieve the death of Bishop Osorio Citora Afonso under uncertain circumstances. In a time clouded by unanswered questions, shine light where shadows threaten to prevail and reveal all that remains hidden in darkness. Sustain the Church in Mozambique with the strength that comes from You alone. Guard their hearts and minds from despair or confusion, and establish Your peace in every place where fear seeks a foothold. Unravel deceit where it appears, and reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your work, that they may turn and see His beauty and grace. For Yours is all wisdom, power, and glory forever. Amen.
