Pray with the global church

Almighty God, You are the refuge and strength for those facing persecution, and You alone remain faithful when earthly paths close. We lift up the Christians worldwide who find doors to safety increasingly shut in their pursuit of refuge. Shelter them under Your wings and lead them to places of safety where they may worship freely without fear. Reveal Jesus to those in power who have the means to open paths of asylum, that hearts might turn toward mercy and compassion. Strengthen believers enduring hardship, and let their faith be a beacon that shines brightly even in the darkness. Establish Your kingdom where injustice prevails and let Your peace reign. May Your Word be their comfort — a lamp unto their feet in these uncertain times. To You alone belongs the glory forever. Amen.
