Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up Joshua Wong and the believers of Hong Kong who face persecution for their faith and advocacy of freedom. You know the weight of oppression and the cry of the afflicted; be their refuge and strength in this trial. Establish justice for those who are imprisoned for Your name and let righteousness rain down like a mighty stream. Reveal Jesus to the officials and authorities who hold power, and let Your light shine into the darkest places of that land. Encourage the hearts of believers who are tempted to grow weary, and let their witness speak of Your enduring love and truth. For the sake of Your name, let freedom and justice flow in Hong Kong. Amen.
