Pray with the global church

God of Hidden Strength, we lift up the underground churches around the world who gather in secret to worship You. Though they meet under threat and shadow, You remain their refuge and fortress. We pray that Your Spirit would sustain and encourage these believers, that they might be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in their inner being. Guard their gatherings with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let Your presence be their comfort and guide. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose them, softening hearts and opening eyes to the light of Your truth. May their silent resilience and bold faith bear witness to Your enduring love. We ask these things for the glory of Your name and the advancement of Your Kingdom. Amen.
