Redeemer, we lift up India and the US citizen affected by this legal decision. You have promised that Your Word will not return void, even in lands where preaching is restricted. Strengthen the church in India to shine brightly and fill believers with courage as they live out their faith under scrutiny. Reveal Jesus to officials making these decisions and to those who struggle against Your name. Let many see Your light and turn from darkness to the power of Christ. Dismantle barriers to the spread of the Gospel, allowing Your truth to be known across all regions of India. We trust You to accomplish all You have purposed for this nation through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
