Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Mercy, we lift up the seven believers in Madhya Pradesh, sentenced for their faithfulness during a child's birthday gathering. In prison, remind them that though they walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve their lives. Establish Your peace in their hearts, and let endurance arise amidst their trials. Reveal Jesus to guards, fellow prisoners, and the authorities, transforming hearts that resist Your truth. Raise up a community of support around these believers, and let their testimony shine brightly in the darkness. Strengthen the church in India to stand firm in the face of opposition, that Your gospel might spread with boldness and grace. For the glory of Your name, we pray. Amen.
