Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up the Christian communities across the Middle East who face growing threats of erasure. You have shepherded Your people throughout history, even through valleys overshadowed by fear. Preserve Your church in these lands, making her a living witness to those who seek hope and redemption. Let the voice of Your Spirit be heard in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and all places where Your name is whispered. Stretch forth Your hand to save those who persecute and misunderstand, transforming hearts as only You can. Reveal Jesus to those lost in hostility and doubt. In every corner where shadows try to close in, let the light of Christ shine ever brighter. For Your glory and in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
