The enemy raises barriers to the gospel in many ways. Some obstacles are direct and visible, as increasing persecution causes believers to fear gathering in larger groups. Other barriers are more subtle. Government policies and administrative processes, though not always intentionally opposed to the gospel, can delay or restrict gospel engagement in the name of safety or public stability. Both direct and indirect challenges can discourage faithful workers. Pray that gospel-sharers will not lose heart amid opposition or delay. Ask the Lord to strengthen their faith and remind them that He is working all things together for good according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28). Pray that God would use every obstacle to advance His kingdom among the nations and deepen trust in Him. When challenges feel overwhelming, ask the Lord to remind His servants that these light and momentary afflictions are producing an eternal weight of glory far beyond comparison (2 Cor. 4:16–17). May He grant courage, endurance, and steadfast faith as His Word continues to spread.
