Pray with the global church

Savior, our hearts cry out for the believers in Burkina Faso facing persecution and uncertainty. When fear threatens to engulf, let Your love be their strength, for You have promised that perfect love casts out fear. Grant them wisdom to navigate these perilous times and courage to testify with grace and truth. Reveal Jesus among communities and leaders, that they might see the One who was lifted up in glory through suffering and recognize Your love in those who follow Him. Raise up peacemakers who mirror Your kingdom, teaching them to love one another just as You commanded, so all will know they are Yours. Guard the church in Burkina Faso with Your peace that surpasses understanding. For the glory of Your name we pray. Amen.
