Pray with the global church

Faithful Shepherd, we lift up the church in Manipur as they stand amidst the tensions between the Tangkhul Naga and Kuki communities. You are the God of peace who calls us to live at peace with all as far as it depends on us. Sanctify Your bride in this region through the pursuit of peace and the power of forgiveness. Let forgiveness flow where animosity has taken hold, and let reconciliation arise in the hearts of those estranged. Reveal Jesus to the displaced, the grieving, and those who harbor resentment. Strengthen the believers in Manipur to be peacemakers, reflecting Your light in a world often marked by division. May Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, turning every sorrow into a testimony of Your grace. Be glorified, O Lord, as peace prevails. Amen.
