Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:1-2 World English Bible
Reflection
Believers ministering in the Middle East often serve amid deep uncertainty and persistent hardship. Yet spiritual vitality does not depend on calm circumstances, but on the presence of the Holy Spirit. Standing alongside these Christian communities in intercession strengthens international fellowship and reminds believers everywhere that hope rests in Christ alone. Ask the Lord to grant leaders and congregations spiritual stamina, overwhelming peace, and deep joy so their testimony may shine brightly to their neighbours.
Prayer
Pray for the church in the Middle East that the God of hope would fill them to overflowing with uncontainable joy and peace so they would radiate hope.
