God of Truth, we come before You on behalf of the Christian family in Chhattisgarh who faced pressure to forsake their faith at a relative's funeral. You see the injustice that has been done, and You are the One who sets the oppressed free. Strengthen this family with courage and peace as they walk through this trial. Reveal Jesus to those who seek to impose their beliefs by force, and let Your truth shine brightly in this community. Protect the believers of Chhattisgarh, and surround them with Your steadfast love, holding them firm in their faith. May Your light break forth like the dawn over every place where darkness has tried to reign. We trust in Your unfailing promises and commit this situation into Your hands. Amen.
