Pray →Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the city of Jerusalem, where a young Christian boy was attacked in the Armenian Quarter on Yom Kippur. In this place meant to be set apart for reflection, hostility arose instead. Cover him with peace where fear has tried to take root. Open eyes to see the truth and lead hearts towards repentance, especially those caught in cycles of hatred and retribution. You have declared that vengeance is Yours and that You will repay—let that assurance quiet the aggrieved and provoke repentance in those who wrong others. Reveal Jesus, the Prince of Peace, both to those who attack and those who bear wounds. Establish Your kingdom where violence now strains human dignity. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Pray →Shepherd, we bring before You the Christian educational institutions in West Bengal under pressure from religious extremism. You have declared that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom — let these schools be places where true knowledge and understanding flourish against all odds. Protect these communities as they face scrutiny, and sustain the teachers and students with courage and clarity. Disarm every scheme set to dismantle their witness, and show Your faithfulness amid opposition. May those enforcing these pressures encounter Your truth, which sets captives free. Reveal Jesus to officials and observers alike, drawing hearts to the light found in Him. We trust in Your steadfast love that reaches to the heavens, asking for Your guidance and peace over West Bengal. In Christ's name, Amen.

Pray →God of Remembrance, we thank you for our brothers and sisters who are imprisoned for their faith in You. As they are held captive and denied access to Your scriptures and the stories of Your life and creation we ask that Your bring to remembrance the pieces of Scripture that would be encouragement and comfort to them. As they sleep reveal Jesus to them, speaking stories and scripture to them as they rest. Open the eyes of their captures and those holding them captive for their conversion to follow You alone. Open their ears to hear what these converts have to say about You and hearts to receive the truth of Jesus into their hearts and lives. We pray for revival to break forth in the midst of confinement and low contact with others.

Pray →God of Abraham, we stand with the believers in Pakistan who have been freed from crippling debt and can now walk into new opportunities.

Establish paths of prosperity and dignity for these families, that they may flourish under Your hand. Reveal Jesus as their ultimate hope to those who still toil under heavy burdens, and let Your light shine in the darkest corners of the brick kilns. Empower the Church in Pakistan to be a beacon of hope and witness to Your faithfulness. We ask this for the glory of Your name, trusting in Your steadfast love. Amen.

Pray →Holy God, we bring before You the people of Odisha, where the pain from the loss of Graham Staines and his young sons lingers. Your justice is like the great deep; let it prevail in this place. Restore peace where violence once burned. Turn eyes to see You, reaching those who have not yet known Your mercy and truth. Draw near to those grieving, and let Your comfort flow like a river in their hearts. Surround the believers of Odisha with Your presence and sustain them with hope. Reveal Jesus to the hard-hearted and open the eyes of those who resist Him. For Your name's sake, shine light into every dark corner of Manoharpur village and beyond. Amen.

Pray →Savior, we bring before You the families of Sri Lanka who still bear the wounds of the 2019 Easter bombings. In their suffering and in their loss, be the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Turn this tragedy into a profound testimony of grace that reveals Your presence among them. Guard those who serve You faithfully even amidst fear, and plant seeds of forgiveness where bitterness seeks to take root. Reveal Jesus to those imprisoned, to officials involved, and to a watching nation thirsting for truth. Let Your peace rule over Sri Lanka, greater than any sentence or human judgment could bring. We commit this land to Your mercy, trusting in Your eternal purposes. Amen.

Let Your healing power touch his frail body, granting strength where there seems none left. Restore him fully, Lord. Sustain him with Your presence as he bears his cross, and let him feel Your comfort surrounding him even in captivity. Open the way for his return to family, uniting them in joy and relief. Reveal Jesus to those holding him captive, that they too may see Your mercy and truth. Deliver him swiftly, for You alone are the Rock on which we stand. We trust in Your mighty hand to act for Your name's sake. Amen.
