Pray with the global church

King of Heaven, we lift up the Christian communities in the Middle East, where the echoes of ancient faith still resonate in places like northern Iraq, Damascus, and Lebanon. You know every tear and every trial faced by those who strive to keep their witness alive in lands where darkness tries to prevail. Let Your light shine in the midst of this struggle, that darkness cannot overcome it. Sustain these believers with courage and joy. Reveal Jesus to those around them who have yet to encounter His love, and transform hearts among officials and neighbors alike. Guard this remnant in the land where Your Son walked and suffered for our salvation. We trust in Your unfailing love and declare it over this region, for the glory of Your name. Amen.
