Policy & Prayer: China

Lord God, King of the nations, We come to You with humility, asking for Your wisdom and protection in a world filled with conflict and competing powers. We lift up China to You--its leaders, its people, and its place in the global community. You love every person there, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. Father, we pray for truth to overcome propaganda, for justice to replace oppression, and for peace to quiet hostility. Where there is corruption, expose it. Where there is fear, bring courage. Where there is persecution--especially against believers and vulnerable minorities--strengthen those who suffer, provide safe refuge, and raise up advocates who will defend what is right. Give wisdom to leaders in our nation and around the world as they respond to threats, economic pressures, and security concerns. Help them act with discernment, restraint, and integrity--seeking peace without naivety and strength without hatred. Guard our hearts from prejudice and pride, and teach us to pray for our enemies and love our neighbors while still standing for truth. Protect our communities from harm--whether through conflict, cyber attacks, deception, or unjust influence. Make us alert, unified, and grounded in what is good. Guide decisions in technology, education, markets, and policy so they reflect righteousness and serve the common good. And Lord, we ask for a mighty move of Your Spirit across China. Let the gospel spread with power, let underground churches be strengthened, and let hearts be drawn to Jesus--the true Prince of Peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord God, Giver of Life, We thank You that every human life is created with purpose and value. Forgive us for the ways we have ignored the vulnerable or treated life as disposable. Turn our hearts back to reverence for You and compassion for others. Father, we pray for the protection of unborn children and for wisdom and courage for leaders in every state as they make decisions that affect life. Let justice be rooted in truth, and let mercy guide every policy and every conversation. We lift up women who feel afraid, overwhelmed, pressured, or alone. Surround them with love, practical support, and safe people who will walk with them. Provide housing, healthcare, counseling, baby supplies, and steady encouragement. Heal those carrying grief from past abortions, miscarriages, or loss--cover them with Your mercy and restoration. Strengthen families--mothers, fathers, grandparents, and guardians--to choose life and to have what they need to raise children well. Bless churches, pregnancy resource centers, foster and adoptive families, and every helper on the front lines. Open doors for adoption and foster care, and bring healing to children who need safe homes. Lord Jesus, make us people who protect life not only with our words, but with our actions--generous, patient, and courageous. Let Your love be seen through us as we defend the vulnerable and care for those in crisis. In Jesus' name, Amen.
