Pray with the global church

Lord of All Nations, who brings light to every heart and mind, we lift up the persecuted believers across the Middle East, often suffering in silence and fear. You do not overlook their cries — sustain them in their trials, and let Your presence be a fortress against all oppression. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, the officials and communities who have yet to see His grace. Turn the hearts that devise evil and draw them into Your mercy. Let peace take root in places gripped by hostility, for You alone break the rod of oppression. Advance Your Kingdom openly across this land, until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. For Your glory and in Christ's name we pray. Amen.
