Savior, we bring before You the Christian family in Chhattisgarh, facing pressure over the burial of their loved one. You are a refuge in times of trouble; shelter them under Your wing. Strengthen their resolve to honor their faith in life and in death. Break down any barriers erected against Your peace, and let the light of Christ be seen even among those who do not yet know You. Move among the villagers, revealing Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life to those who resist His name. Guard this family with Your truth, that they may stand firm in love and witness. May their testimony draw others to consider the hope found only in Christ. For Your glory and by Your grace, we pray. Amen.
