Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up Mariam Ibrahim and Rev. Dr. A. Roy Medley as they meet after years marked by hope, prayer, and perseverance. Your hand brought them together for Your purposes — bless this reunion with grace and truth. Let the courage and testimony of Mariam inspire faith in those who hear her story, and continue to strengthen her in every trial she faces. Reveal Jesus through their witness, not only to those who love You already but also to those still resistant to Your call. We ask for wisdom and boldness for advocates who stand with the persecuted church across the globe. May Your power be made perfect in weakness, that many might know the fullness of Christ's love. For Your glory and Kingdom's advance, we pray. Amen.
