Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we bring the people of Chhattisgarh before You, those wrestling with both persecution and the floods' devastation. In Your faithfulness, guide them through these trials, past high waters and hostility. Let them know You as their refuge and strength, a present help in trouble. Quench the ambitions of those who press them down for their faith. Reveal Jesus to officials and onlookers in these days of recovery. May their eyes open to His gentle call even amidst turmoil. Strengthen the believers to reflect Your love across Bastar district, building hope where fear has swept in. For the glory of Your name and the advance of Your kingdom, Amen.
