Pray with the global church

Holy One, we lift up the vast numbers of believers worldwide who face restrictions in accessing Your Word. Despite increased availability, many are left longing for the scriptures that guide and sustain their faith. Open doors where barriers currently stand, and let Your truth flow freely to every soul thirsting for it. Establish pathways for Bibles to reach those yearning for them, and let wisdom prevail among those in power who control such access. Transform hearts among officials and leaders, that they might encounter the life found in Christ. Guard the church as she seeks Your word under pressure — You promise a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. May the Gospel advance with strength across these places, that eyes blinded by opposition may see Jesus in His fullness. For the glory of Your name, Amen.
