Prayer

Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of longing for the people of India. I ask that You draw them into a deep and transformative relationship with Your Son, Jesus Christ. May Your Spirit move powerfully across this diverse land, igniting a passion for truth and a desire for fellowship with You. Just as You have called us to be the light of the world, I pray that Your light would shine brightly in the hearts of those who do not yet know You, guiding them toward salvation and hope (Matthew 5:14).

Lord, I lift up the leaders and influencers within India—their minds and hearts are pivotal in shaping the spiritual landscape. I pray that You would grant them wisdom and understanding, leading them to recognize the beauty of a life committed to You. May they find themselves in awe of Your grace and mercy, and may this understanding lead them to share Your love with their communities. Help them realize that in coming to You, they will find true purpose and fulfillment, as Your Word reminds us that You have plans to prosper us, not to harm us (Jeremiah 29:11).

Father, I ask that You soften the hearts of those who are resistant to Your message, removing any barriers or misconceptions that keep them from experiencing the fullness of Your love. Bring about divine encounters that speak to their spirits in ways that only You can orchestrate. As they seek, help them to discover that in You, they can find rest and peace amidst their struggles (Matthew 11:28). May they be open to the transforming power of Your grace, which is able to heal and restore broken lives.

Finally, Lord, I pray for the Church in India—that it may rise up in strength and unity to be a beacon of hope. Empower Your people to boldly proclaim the Gospel and to serve their communities with love and compassion. As they do so, may they reflect the heart of Christ, demonstrating that You are a God who cares deeply for those who are lost. Let their faith be a testimony that draws many into a deeper relationship with You, as we cling to the promise that those who seek You will find You when they seek You with all their hearts (Jeremiah 29:13).

In Jesus’ name, amen.
