God of All Comfort, we bring before You the Zion 8 detained in Guangxi, where they endure overcrowding and harsh conditions. You see the suffering of Your people, and You are near to the brokenhearted, hearing their cries. Sustain these believers in their distress. Let Your presence be their refuge, even in confinement, and renew their strength day by day. Open the eyes of those who hold them to see the glory of Christ in their endurance. Reveal Jesus to guards and officials, turning hearts from oppression to mercy. Uphold justice for Your children, and let their testimony shine brightly despite trials. To You be comfort and deliverance through our Savior Jesus. Amen.
