Pray with the global church

Holy One, we come to You with hearts open for our brothers and sisters facing intense trials across the globe. Establish Your Word within them, so it dwells richly and overflows with grace and truth even in the darkest days. Sustain them as they hold fast to the confession of their hope without wavering. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, that they might encounter the One who calls them out of darkness into marvelous light. Encourage the church with glimpses of Your glory, that they may run their race with endurance and joy. Let this season be a witness to all, that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit. For the sake of Your name and through Christ our Redeemer, Amen.
