FOR THE SUFFERING CHURCH
Next week in our church prayer, let’s remember our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in regions affected by conflict. In the Middle East, especially in Lebanon and Israel, many churches are living and serving under pressure, uncertainty, and sorrow. Christians in Iran are also facing intense hardship. Pastors and churches in Ukraine are carrying heavy burdens.
The Bible tells us that it is both a responsibility and a privilege for the church to rejoice and weep with one another, to bear one another’s burdens, and to suffer together as one body. We are one with each other because we are one with Christ. Psalms 46 and 2 remind us that God reigns over the nations, and that Christ is King, and Revelation assures us that His kingdom will prevail.
Our hope is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. With that confidence, let us pray that the Lord would sustain His people, strengthen His church, and cause the light of Christ to shine brightly in every trial.

Please pray:
- That believers and pastors would remain faithful to Christ and His Word.
- That the Lord would preserve His people, provide for their needs, and sustain them through hardship.
- For pastors in Ukraine and Russia, that God would give them wisdom, courage, and strength.
- That through suffering and hardship, many would see the hope of Christ and turn to Him.
