Pray with the global church

Most High God, we lift up the people of Karak Governorate in Jordan, where Your children have faced violence at St. George Greek Orthodox Church. You see every cry and know the pain and sorrow felt by those who gathered in faith. Grant them courage as they walk through the shadowed valleys, for You are with them. Reveal Jesus to those who walk in darkness, even among those who would seek to harm Your people. Guard this community under Your mighty hand, and let their witness be a light that shines brightly in places of fear and suffering. May Your church stand firm, rooted in love that casts out fear. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; let it advance here, for the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
