Pray with the global church

Lord God, we lift up the believers of St Peter’s Evangelical Church in Iran as they face threats of confiscation and growing pressure. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble — be that stronghold for Your church in Iran. Reveal Your presence to officials, neighbors, and those who oppose them. Bring light to hearts walking in darkness and meet them with the grace that transformed Saul on his road to Damascus. Guard the faith of believers and let their witness be steadfast, unmovable. Let the truth of Jesus advance openly across Iran, planting seeds of peace and hope where fear tries to reign. We ask for Your kingdom to come here on earth as it is in heaven, trusting You are faithful to complete what You have begun. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
