Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the people of Lahore, where a young Christian girl is caught in the grip of injustice and fear. You see the plight of the oppressed and stand as a refuge for the vulnerable — move swiftly to deliver her from captivity and restore her to her family. Guard her heart and mind with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and surround her with Your protection. Strengthen the believers in Pakistan to stand firm in faith and love, even as they face trials. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, that they may see the light of Your truth and turn from darkness. In Your steadfast love, let righteousness rain down, and may Your name be glorified in this land. Amen.
