Pray with the global church

God of Hope, we lift up the people of Chhattisgarh, where displacement and persecution have driven families to the point of despair. Their need is urgent, and their cries reach Your ears. Establish Your peace within these communities, where hostility has sought to destroy. Sustain the believers who gather in secret, strengthen their resolve to remain steadfast in faith. Reveal Jesus to those who pursue violence, that they may see the light breaking into their darkness. Let Your presence be like a Shepherd among them, protecting and guiding them with strength and tenderness. Restore hope where it has been lost, for You have promised that hope does not put us to shame. To You we entrust these families, believing that Your love is poured out in their hearts through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
