Savior, we lift up the lawyers and believers of Xi’an Zion’s Light Church as they face violence and opposition in the courts. You see every act of injustice and stand with those who are falsely accused. Embolden these defenders of justice to continue their work with courage, knowing that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Reveal Jesus to judges, officials, and those who resist Your name, that they might encounter Your transforming love. Guard the hearts of believers facing trials, preserving their faith as pure gold refined in fire. Advance Your kingdom in Xi’an with truth and righteousness as its foundations. We place our trust in Your unfailing love, asking these things through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
