Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up Telangana where two young girls have suffered for bearing the name of Jesus. You are near to the brokenhearted, and You bind up their wounds — draw close to these girls and their families now. Break down the hostility that led to their attack, and let Your truth stand unshaken amidst accusation. Meet the attackers and protestors as You met Saul on the road to Damascus, turning hearts toward grace and repentance. Open eyes across Telangana to see Your light and let it pierce through entrenched opposition. Guard the church in India with Your strong hand, that they may boldly continue proclaiming Christ crucified and risen. We entrust them to Your care, asking this for Your name's sake. Amen.
