Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

Hebrews 13:3 World English Bible

Reflection

Troubling headlines often seem distant, yet suffering overseas demands a compassionate response rather than passive indifference. When ease and routine dull spiritual sensitivity, believers risk overlooking those enduring hardship abroad. Intercession requires empathy that transcends geographical borders. Seeking God for conviction helps break complacency, encouraging earnest intercession for people facing trials. Asking the Lord to awaken hearts ensures that quiet comfort never replaces active spiritual support and solidarity.

Prayer

Pray that the events in Iran would stir the hearts of the Western Church, disturbing us out of our comfortable silence.
