Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up Brother Manish, imprisoned yet unshaken in his trust that You have placed him there with purpose. In the darkness of confinement, let Your light shine through him, dispelling fear and bringing hope to those around him. You are a refuge and strength for the righteous — be near to him, and strengthen his spirit as he testifies to Your name. Reveal Jesus to his captors and all who witness his steadfastness. Transform hearts hardened by violence, breaking chains not made of iron but of unbelief. Advance Your Kingdom in Manish's village and beyond, drawing many to the freedom found only in Christ. For the glory of Your name, O King, may Your truth prevail through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
