Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the Christian Copts of Egypt as they face discrimination and hostility. You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Establish peace for these believers, and let the light of Your presence guide them through the shadows of persecution. Reveal Jesus to those who impose restrictions and to the wider community, that they might come to know the One who was pierced for our transgressions. Strengthen Your Church in Egypt, that the Gospel may continue to be a beacon of hope and love. May Your justice and righteousness roll down like a mighty stream, bringing restoration and unity. For the exaltation of Your name, we pray. Amen.
