Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up Iran as St Peter’s Church faces confiscation and its residents the threat of eviction. This place has been a shelter for the weary and a light to many seeking truth. You are our fortress, even when earthly homes are taken away. Defend those who find themselves on shaky ground, strengthen their faith that they might stand firm in Your love, and let them not be moved by fear. Reveal Jesus to Iranian officials and all who watch from afar, showing them the steadfastness of His love that does not falter. Establish justice in this situation and let the plans of those who seek harm be turned back. We look to You, trusting that even amidst these trials, You remain their refuge and strength. Amen.
