Pray with the global church

God of Wisdom and Counselor of Justice, we bring before You the tribal communities in Chhattisgarh who seek to preserve their heritage and faith amidst new legal pressures. You have promised that Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path — guide these communities in truth and integrity as they navigate these challenges. Establish justice in the hearts of those making decisions, and let Your peace reign over every discussion and debate. Reveal Jesus to officials and communities throughout Chhattisgarh, that they might see a living witness of Your love and mercy. To You belong wisdom, justice, and truth, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
