Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Comfort, we lift up the land of Pakistan in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision concerning the lynching of Shahzad and Shama. You see the cries of the oppressed and the pain that remains in the hearts of their families. We ask You to bind up the brokenhearted and to bring true justice that reflects Your righteousness. Reveal Jesus to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the officials who bear responsibility for justice in this land. Let truth and mercy flow like a river, nurturing peace and reconciliation where bitterness has taken root. Strengthen the believers in Pakistan to be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your love and truth. We entrust this nation to Your care, knowing that Your justice will prevail. Amen.
