Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up Kolkata where over 12,000 believers have gathered to demand protection and religious freedom. Strengthen Your people in India as they stand amidst challenges and hostilities. You are the refuge for the oppressed; sustain their spirits and guard their hearts. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, that they might encounter the One who transforms hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. Raise up witnesses in Kolkata whose lives bear the fragrance of Christ, and let mercy ripple through the streets like living water. Establish justice and peace where conflict has sown fear, and let Your kingdom advance powerfully across India. In the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.
