God of Justice and Truth, we lift up the state of Maharashtra as the new anti-conversion law takes effect, bringing uncertainty and concern among believers. You see the hearts of Your people, and You know the intentions behind every law. Strengthen the believers across Maharashtra, that they might stand firm and be bold in their witness, rooted and grounded in love. Reveal Jesus to legislators and officials, that they might see the light of the Gospel and be drawn to Your grace. Protect the churches and families facing scrutiny, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds. We trust in Your unfailing love and power to accomplish Your purposes in this land. For the glory of Your name, we ask. Amen.
