Pray with the global church

Sovereign Lord, we lift up the schools of Chhattisgarh, where new mandates impose Hindu prayers upon diverse communities. You see the hearts of children and teachers whose voices are compelled against their convictions. Establish Your justice in this region, and let true wisdom guide those in authority to uphold the freedom of belief. Strengthen the believers who stand for truth and respect for all cultures, and let their lives shine as a testimony of love and courage. Reveal Jesus to students and educators, transforming hearts with His peace and truth. May the knowledge of Your glory fill the land as waters cover the sea. To You belong wisdom, justice, and everlasting dominion through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
