Redeemer, we lift the nation of Saudi Arabia before You, where a migrant worker faces death for a word spoken. You are the One who waits to be gracious and to show compassion, and we call on that grace for Anojan Sivarasa today. Dismantle the chains of fear and injustice that grip this land, and let Your righteousness shine like the dawn. Guard those who speak truth in dangerous places, sustain believers through every trial, and reveal Jesus to officials, judges, and all who sit in power. May they come to know the One whose kingdom is built not by might but by Spirit. To You alone belong mercy and justice; in Your time act swiftly, that Your name may be revered. Amen.
