Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up the Christian communities in Uttar Pradesh following the High Court's decision regarding their cemetery land. You know the needs of Your flock and care for every sparrow; guide the believers as they seek a peaceful solution that honors both You and their neighbors. Establish fairness in the hearts of local authorities and reveal Jesus to those who govern this region. Provide other avenues for Your people to bury their loved ones with dignity, and let love and understanding grow between communities divided by this ruling. Strengthen Your Church in Uttar Pradesh, embolden them to witness, and let Your peace dwell richly among them. We trust in Your shepherding care through Christ our Lord. Amen.
