God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up Ikhlaq Masih and the Christian community of Ajnianwala. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit. Strengthen Ikhlaq and his family as they navigate the aftermath of this assault, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds. Reveal Jesus to the attackers and those who harbor hatred, that they may see the light of Your truth and be transformed. Guard the Christian community in Sheikhupura from fear and intimidation, and let them shine as lights in the darkness. Establish Your kingdom of righteousness and peace in Pakistan, and let justice flow like a river throughout this land. For the sake of Your name, Amen.
