Pray with the global church

Holy One, we lift up the village in Punjab where fear has driven Christian families from their homes. Flames consumed the home and livelihood of a father accused of blasphemy, leaving destruction and fear in their wake. But You are a refuge to the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Guard these families as they seek safety, and let Your peace touch places shattered by violence. Reveal Jesus to those who are blinded by anger and hatred, transforming hearts as You turned Saul's. Strengthen Your church to stand firm in the face of persecution, and let their witness shine bright amidst darkness. Your kingdom cannot be shaken, and we trust that You will sustain them until justice rolls on like a river. In the name of Jesus our Savior, Amen.
