Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the families and communities near Wamena mourning the loss of three Christian public workers. In the midst of this turmoil and fear, stand as a refuge and shield for those who grieve. Establish peace in this conflict-ridden region where violence has too often prevailed. Reveal Jesus to the perpetrators, those living in darkness without the light of Your presence. Let hearts be turned from violence to love, as only You can truly change a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Sustain Your Church in Papua with unwavering faith and courage. May their witness shine brightly as they navigate through shadows of death, and may the power of Your resurrection be made known in their suffering. In Your mighty name we ask these things. Amen.
