Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the Hembram Soren family in West Bengal, whose home was invaded by those filled with hostility. May they dwell in the shelter of the Most High, finding refuge under Your wings. Guard them with Your peace and let their hearts not be shaken by fear. Reveal Jesus to those in East Midnapore who have yet to know Him — those who attack and those who watch. Let them see the light of Christ shining through this family and encounter Your love that casts out all fear. Strengthen believers in this region to stand firm, hidden with Christ in God, despite intimidation. May Your Kingdom advance mightily through their witness. In Jesus' name we ask, Amen.
