Pray with the global church

Almighty God, source of all strength and wisdom, we lift up the Spiritans serving in areas of Africa fraught with religious tensions and conflict. You have promised to be a refuge and fortress for those who trust in You. Establish Your peace in the hearts of these faithful servants, and equip them with the wisdom that comes from above, pure and peace-loving. Guard them from fear and discouragement, making them steadfast in love and truth. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose them, that even persecutors might encounter Your transforming grace. Let the support from their brothers and sisters across Africa be a tangible expression of Your care and unity in the body of Christ. For Your kingdom and glory we pray. Amen.
