Pray with the global church

Savior, we lift up Qaiser Ayub and his family as they face the weight of a death sentence upheld against him in Pakistan. You are close to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit; draw near to this family with Your comfort and strength. Reveal Jesus to the justices, prosecutors, and all who stand against him, that they might encounter the light of Christ even in their opposition. Guard Qaiser's heart with peace that surpasses understanding, and let him be steadfast in hope through these trials. Open doors for advocacy and justice on behalf of those wrongfully condemned, and let truth shine brightly where falsehood has taken root. For Your power is made perfect in weakness; we rest in Your hands and trust You to act with righteousness and mercy. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
