Pray with the global church

King of Heaven, we bring before You the pastors and archbishop in Russia facing scrutiny for their foreign connections. You know each one by name and see the pressure they endure for Your sake. In a land where hostility rises against them, be their shield and defender. Strengthen these leaders with courage to stand firm, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds even when legal threats press hard. Reveal Jesus to the authorities investigating them, and open their eyes to the One who came not to condemn but to save. May these trials turn into testimony as Your church advances with boldness despite opposition. For Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. Amen.
