God of Justice and Peace, we lift up the church in Mumbai as they navigate the challenges posed by the new anti-conversion law. As Your people gather in faith, knowing they may face scrutiny, sustain their hearts with courage and wisdom. You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Guide the leaders of these congregations with discernment, and let their testimony be a light in the darkness. Reveal Jesus to those who misunderstand or oppose Your work, that they might see the beauty of the One who came to seek and save the lost. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In Your steadfast love, we trust and find our hope. Amen.
