Pray with the global church

Shepherd, You guide us in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake, and we thank You for this step toward justice in Punjab as the bill to reform Christian marriage laws advances. Guard the implementation of these laws, ensuring free consent and protection for those who are vulnerable. Let this legal change be a doorway through which the Gospel moves, opening minds and hearts across Pakistan. Establish Your peace and wisdom among lawmakers, judges, and all who influence these proceedings. Reveal Jesus to every heart — those who make decisions in offices, families touched by new hope, and communities that witness this change. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
