Father, we pray for your people in India today. Hear the cries of their heart and answer with power we pray. Look upon the deepest needs that they have physically and spiritually and minister to them. Pour provision and favor into every area of their lives. Heal their hurts, guide all that they do, give them peace and refreshing in their body mind and spirit. Let your presence be a hedge about them and keep them from all evil. Empower them to resist temptation and to be delivered from all that would try to harm them, their families, or their ministries. Prosper them in business and finances, keeping a right spirit as good stewards of all that belongs to you Lord. Let them be conduits that allow all blessing and provision and maturity in Christ to flow through them and into the lives of those that are lost or hurting or in need of discipleship. Increase their Faith in you Father, and increase their faithfulness. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for women and children caught in the sex-slave industry in India. Father, send voices into their lives to tell them how precious they are to you. Send arms to hold them with pure hearts and compassion for their hurts. Raise up your people to minister to those that are in such bondage and oppression. FREE THEM FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Somehow, some way, remove them from such misery and lead them to a place of safety and Godly love. They are confused and deceived and in great suffering. Help them to know that they are loved for who they are, as a child of God, as clean and precious and of great value to their heavenly Father and their family in Christ. I don't have answers or the ability or a plan to free them... but you do Abba Father. Help them. The least of these. Raise up laborers. Move in the legal system. Convict the hearts of those that are enslaving them and devouring them. Transform those who have embraced the victimization of women and children, who seek only to satisfy their own lust, and who are obsessed with profitting from the pain of India's children. Come Lord Jesus. We need you so desperately. The children of India cry out. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you for your presence in our lives. Thank you for coming to save us from eternal destruction, to save us from our sin-sickened self. Thank you that your Spirit, your Truth, your Love, your intervention can change the most vile among us. You are the God of change. You are the God of miracles. You are the God of second changes. The One who makes all things new. Look upon India Father Son and Spirit. We agree together with our family there and we invite the perfect will of God to be done in every life and in every situation. Almighty God, Merciful Savior, Holy Father, Divine Comforter and Helper. Manifest your presence in India as never before. You created all. Restore the people of India and every life they touch around the world for your glory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we are blessed because you are with us. We thank you for your great sacrifice, and we are humbled by your love for us. We cannot grasp the depth of such love that you would come down so far from Heaven to save us from every evil thing, from our own guilt and from the destruction that was our inheritance. We are made new by a Mighty God, cleansed and set free and made whole. No longer slaves to the darkness, but children of God, joint-heirs with Christ, claimed and loved and full of purpose. You are the giver of Joy, You are the giver of Life. And we love you so very much. Thank you for loving us.

We pray for India today. We pray for our family, your children in that nation, as they serve you Lord and as they serve the people of that nation. Pour everything they will need into their body mind and spirit so that they are able to minister to the spiritual needs of those that their lives will touch. Put all manner of provision into their hands that they will need to minister to the physical needs of those same people. In the name of Jesus, let it be like the woman and the barrel of flour that never ran out, or the cru of oil that poured forth beyond it's capacity. Miraculous provision Father, physically and spiritually, in the name of Jesus. We thank you. Food and drink today. Your words of refreshing and healing forever.

Father there are some that are feeling so alone today. There are people in that nation that have gone a very long time without experiencing the smallest expression of genuine affection. Some do not even know what it is that is aching in the core of who they are, they only know the hurt and the alienation that they feel. Heal them we pray. Send your people to them to minister not just with words and supplies, but with genuine affection. Let them lavish your love upon them. Hugs. Kisses when appropriate. Walking with them and talking warmly in living rooms and in gardens. Holding their hand. Encouraging and Refreshing and Empowering them in every way for your glory. In the name of Jesus.

For those who have suffered abuse or sexual abuse, heal their hearts, their bodies and their emotions. Remove the hindrances and the scars that the enemy has put upon them to distance them from being able to receive affection. Heal their hurt Father. In the name of Jesus. Allow women to trust Godly men again. Allow women to trust that not all women are mean and selfish. Allow children to trust that God has people that truly care about what they are feeling, people that are not there to use them and hurt them, rather people that want to hold them with a real and pure love -- who want to nurture them as the physical arms of a comforting and protecting Father. Help them to feel safe and loved. Protect them from every evil thing the enemy has tried to destroy them with. We need you Father. Your people need your Spirit to minister effectively. The people and the children of India need you. Come to them we pray and manifest your presence like never before. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would continue to encourage their hearts, that you would refresh their bodies and renew their strength. Thank you for calling your people to serve in India, reward their faithfulness abundantly. Fill their lives with blessing in big ways and in small ways. Allow them to see a great measure of the fruit of their labor and assure them that their efforts and their sacrifices are not wasted or insignificant. Let them know that their walk of faith and of faithfulness has accomplished great things for the Kingdom of God. Minister to their every need, body mind and spirit. Bless your people that are serving in India today, Father. In the name of Jesus.

We ask that you would empower those that are attending discipleship school or classes or Bible Studies. Help them to be bold and courageous and determined to learn your word Father, to receive training and instruction from the family of God, so that they will be better equipped to minister the Gospel to the lost. Protect them and their families and their livelihood. Keep a right spirit within them, help them to control their anger against injustice, help them to defend what you command them to defend, with the spiritual weapons you have provided. Help them to stand firm in the physical as you lead and direct, and yet to be gentle and kind and patient when necessary. Season them with discernment and wisdom and genuine love for the people of India and all those that their lives will touch. Raise up worthy disciples, diligent in word and deed and character. You are our righteousness Jesus, make each of us able to perform all that you have called us to in the midst of this urgent hour of the church. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.

Father, condemnation is not of you. Weighting people down so that they feel that there is no escape from their sin, and no release from their guilt. Father you convict the heart of the sinner. That conviction is the realization of our need of a Saviour. That conviction always offers a door of Hope, a path illuminated to encounter Christ, the Almighty God, who makes us clean and new and free. We agree together for those that are lost in India, as well as around the world. We ask that you would draw them by your Spirit, that you would convict their hearts and reveal Truth to their minds. Clear thinking. Silence every lie so that they can hear your voice speaking to them personally. Father, we can put the Truth before them, but it is your Spirit, your word, that reaches into their heart and convinces them of your love. We ask that your presence would fill India, the very air her people breathe, so that every soul will encounter you today. So that every soul will hear the Good News that God has come to save them and is with them. We praise you Father. We love you. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

I as an Indian thank shelagirl and all praying in behalf of us. I a Christian convert of 50years now see rising of persecution here. In our communist ruled province of West Bengal it is not so violent but insidious. The lure of politics, money and position is spoiling pastors and common Christians alike. This is global. Now my concern is to spiritually support the pastors. generally protestants pastors are very poor financially. Some only manage to get only 10 to 15 dollars month. Many are unpaid pastors.
In this atheist and heathen culture their faith is always in danger.
Catholics clergy are better off financially but there is the anomaly of luxurious pastors and beggar like laity. So we should pray for their spiritual needs specifically. Thanks and persevere in prayer

Father God, bless your child who is not afraid to stand on the Mighty Name of Jesus inspite of the climate of his people. Protect them Lord. Answer his plea for spiritual support for protestant pastors in India, God. Bind them together so that they can help and uplift one another. Put people in their path that will help them in doing the work of you, our Father.

IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

yes Lord, build relationship and communication among your people in India, especially those who have accepted the call as pastors and teachers and leaders. Encourage them today we pray. Equip them spiritually to pour the Word of God into the hearts of the people in India, to effectively minister with boldness and gentleness, to discern exactly what is needed so that people are strengthened in their walk and in their character. Provide every physical need, whether food and water, teaching supplies or maintenance tools for their vehicles or homes. Let abundant provision funnel thru them to meet their need and the needs of your church in India. Give them everything needed to help the lost to hear/receive their message, so that every soul in India will know the love of Christ in real and personal ways. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we pray about the corruption in your church. Not just in India but around the world. Renew a right heart in your people, a heart that does not seek revenge, that does not seek to shame those that are in sin. But Father, whatever sin needs to be exposed that is being committed by those that call themselves by YOUR NAME, let it be exposed in a way that will bring them to repentance and save their soul. Do not let the enemy smear the testimony of your church, Do not let the enemy use them as a poster child to cripple and hinder the work of the faithful in India. Rather, let repentance overwhelm anyone that is walking in willful sin and corruption. Clean their heart, restore them Father, and heal any hurt that their sin has caused in the lives of those around them. Father, whisper to them in the night, take away their sleep and their rest, whatever it takes to cause them to turn from their sin and to diligently seek to be more like Christ, loving God and loving people. In the name of Jesus.

Father, the poor and oppressed of India cry out to you. You see them in the streets, you see them wandering hungry and heart broken. The need is so great. The lives of children and families are being ripped apart, and every evil thing rises against them. Deliver them Father. Make a way. Comfort them body mind and spirit. Send your laborers to them, draw them to your people and to your church. Build relationship and assure their heart that they are accepted and loved. Above all else... let them know you Jesus. Let them know that you see them and that you are with them working all things out for their good in the midst of a fallen creation. Help them to glimpse your power and the victory that you have promised and are bringing to complete fulfillment. Cause them to see that they are of great value, they are precious, with specific purpose to accomplish great things for God. Thank you Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would give them strength and courage in whatever they may be facing today. We pray that you would guide them and help them to make wise decisions in the big and the small. We ask that your many blessings in their lives would be realized and cherished. We pray that you would fill their day with laughter and good fellowship with other believers. Watch over them, watch over their families and their ministries. Thank you Father. In the name of Jesus.

Whatever need they may have today, we ask that you would pour out provision for them and in abundance. If they need a new shirt or dress or pants, if they need shoes or school supplies, if they need food or water... whatever is lacking, make a way for them to be blessed and to have relief. Give them peace of mind. Comfort the hearts of parents and help them to be able to provide for their children. Let your presence be felt in every home in India. Minister to this generation and the generations that will follow. Reveal your faithfulness to them and cause them to praise the name of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior and Friend who cares for every detail of their physical and spiritual man. In the name of Jesus.

Reunite families that have been separated by persecution or injustice or kidnapping. Let miracles be granted so that they can be with their loved ones once again. In the name of Jesus. Help them. Deliver them. Father, reunite families that have been torn apart because of addiction or the sin of a family member. Heal those relationships. Free them from addiction. Help them to forgive. Cause each of them as well as their relationships to be made whole and full of beauty in Christ. Bless the families in India Father, as well as around the world. Let your people be encouragers and fill them with your wisdom to minister effectively, give them your words to speak healing. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father thank you for the faithfulness of your people here on this forum and in India and throughout the world. Watch over them and look upon them today, throughout this week, this month, this year. Whatever the deepest need of their heart, whatever physical provision, supply all according to your wisdom and your mercy. We agree together with your people on the ground in India for the salvation of every soul. We agree with those followers of Christ that know India as their homeland and their heritage. Let your will be done, Heavenly Father, in the big and the small, on every level, for the glory of God. In the name of Jesus.

Father we agree together that everything that is distracting your people in India from your perfect will would be removed or silenced. We pray that you would help us all to focus on the Commission, on what really matters, on what is precious to your heart, on souls. Let the trivial be revealed as trivial... let everything that is diverting resources and energy and time toward things that are not the perfect will and plan of God be revealed as unimportant and superficial. Cause your people in India and right where we're at to realize that some things simply don't matter, some things are a distraction of the enemy, somethings started out on track but have gone astray somewhere along the way. Bring clarity Father. Bring focus and cleansing and right vision, Godly vision, the brilliant and perfect plan of God. In the name of Jesus.

Help your people to repent of our pride. Help those in India and all around the world and in our own skin to recognize the areas where we are doing things our own way instead of your way Father. Help us to stop our sin and our confusion and to work with one another instead of against our own family, our own blood, our own beloved. Help us to strive and to seek peace and unity in our churches and among the fellowship of Faith in Jesus Christ. Enough with division and conflict and tensions over things that will not be resolved by our best efforts. Across the board of the body of Christ -- cause us to trust you with what we cannot change in every area of our lives and our relationships. Empower us to repent from our own sin and pride, and to walk humbly with our God. Help us Father, we are a weak and fragile creation. We are in need of you. Help our brothers and sisters in India, help us all around the world to seek your will and not our own, the good of all rather than our own selfish desires. In the name of Jesus.

We are desperate Father. Cause us to be more desperate until we trust you fully with all things. We cannot do it in our own strength. Come Lord Jesus. Come Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father,

Please bring Jesus Christ and his Gospel to the forefront in India in ways that will be a blessing rather than in ways that would draw presecution.

We ask:
  • That you neutralize thoughts that distract from your goodness
  • That you intervene in the lives of those who don't know that they need you
  • That you help them to turn to you
  • That you bless them all in ways that we don't think to ask.

We pray for them and thank you for all that you already have done, are doing and will do for them in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Yes Father, we agree together that you would intervene in that nation. We thank you that you are so very present, that you are not a God that stands at a distance, but you are in our midst and active in all that we are experiencing. Move upon the hearts and minds of the people of India. Help them to see you, to understand your love for them, to acknowledge their need and dependence on a God that loves them as his precious children. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we continue to pray for the legislation and the legal process in India. We ask that you would cause great favor, miraculous justice, to be performed for your people and for the oppressed of that nation. Watch over their physical well being, protect them from anyone that would try to cause them or their loved ones bodily harm. Hide them from those that are seeking someone to devour. Especially watch over the children and guide them to safe havens and places of refuge. Deliver them from the darkness that surrounds them. In the name of Jesus.

Once again, we pray for continued transportation. Whatever vehicles are needed, we ask that you would provide them. Whatever is needed for their upkeep, engine parts, fuel, shoes, wheels -- whatever -- we ask that you would supply the need and that you would raise up people that will volunteer to help with the repairs, people skilled in such maintenance. Watch over your people as they travel thru India, from village to village, from home to home, from church to church. Grant them safe travels. Also for those that are traveling between nations or cities, keep them in the center of your perfect will and allow their journeys to be refreshing rather than draining. Give them traveling companions of good character that will be an encouragement and a strength to them. Provide places of rest along the way and lavish hospitality on them, even from strangers and from their enemies. Open doors for them to share the love of Christ and the Gospel message to every soul along the way. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Father for your love and your mercy and your faithfulness. We are a blessed people. We labor in a dark world, but there is a mission that is being accomplished and will one day end. There is a Kingdom at hand and the fulfillment of peace that is being worked out with God and with Man. Thank you Father, that you have not forgotten us. Thank you Jesus that you will never abandon us. Thank you Holy Spirit that you comfort us and empower us in the journey on this earth. Be with our brothers and sisters in India. Bind our hearts and our petitions together in your Love. We are so privileged to be in the family of God, walking this road together, in different places, but together always in heart and spirit and commission. Help us to please you in all things Father. Bless the nation of India today for your glory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

We have several computers, but they are old. Our main one is the only one with internet access and it is trying to crash. We lost the c-drive yesterday. My husband is trying to patch things together, but we have lost many files, including our main email account.

If you notice that I have not posted a prayer on a certain day, it means I had trouble accessing a computer or getting to the local library. PLEASE PRAY FOR INDIA, make sure someone has posted at least one prayer each day.
The more the better *hearts*

Our family is trusting that God will provide for our computer needs, but should we be unable to post -- know that I will be agreeing with you in prayer.

Luv to you,

Selahgirl

Father, thank you that you provide for every need according to your faithfulness and your wisdom. Nothing is too great for you. Whether I have a computer or not, India will be covered in prayer and your people will be standing in agreement by your grace. But I ask that you bless our family and repair our computer again ^_^

We trust you in all things Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, thank you for your love and presence that is with us always. Thank you for all that you are doing in India and around the world. We ask that you would continue to move upon the hearts of the people of that nation. That you would draw the lost by your Holy Spirit, that they would come to understand the love of God for them and the salvation that Jesus Christ came to offer to each of us. Equip and Empower your people to go into the darkest places of India and to preach the Gospel, the Good News, that Jesus is God and that there is nothing that can separate them from his love -- if they will only believe. In the name of Jesus.

We ask that you would open all lines of communication in India so that the message will be heard and received. We ask that your laborers would continue to plant seed in abundance, and that you would continue to multiply it and to bring the increase of a great harvest. We ask that you would make transportation available into the more remote areas, that you would open doors that have been closed a very long time. We pray that you would keep your people safe as they journey and risk their very lives and the lives of those they love. We pray for wisdom and discernment as your Holy Spirit guides their every step and every decision. In the name of Jesus.

Remove all obstacles that would keep people in confusion or ignorance or deception. In the name of Jesus. Provide interpreters or bring understanding of languages miraculously. Those who are learning a language or dialect to effectively teach in a certain region... help them to learn it quickly and with great skill and understanding of the cultures of the specific communities they will be ministering/witnessing to. Father, you are the author of all things, the author of language and communication and relationship. It is your will that people hear and understand their Creator and heavenly Father who loves them so completely. We agree together in our petitions that you would open every door so that the Commission will go forward in India and with great power for your glory. In the name of Jesus.

Food and Drink, shelter and refuge, schools and churches, discipleship and tracts and all things necessary to communicate the Gospel. Send it Lord. People that truly know you and that love you with their whole heart, that love people because they understand your love for them, that understand the bond among all men and women that binds us together in Hope -- the bond that is the love of God for us as individuals and as one. In your name Lord.

Make it clear to all who will hear, to all who are oppressed, to all who are broken hearted, to all who are willing to believe that they are welcome to enter into the family of God -- make it clear that they are the whole reason that he came to earth to suffer so much on the cross, they are the whole reason that he has sent someone to tell them. Your love overwhelms us Father! Let every soul in India know and understand and receive that love. Be their guide, their comforter, their strength. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

  • That you help them to turn to you
  • That you bless them all in ways that we don't think to ask.

We pray for them and thank you for all that you already have done, are doing and will do for them in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.



IN TOTAL AGREEMENT.

Father, thank you for your faithfulness that is so beautifully reflected in the lives of your people. Multiply blessing back to them a hundred times over for every act of kindness and service and sacrifice that they offer up in your name. Encourage the heart of your people in India. Bless everything that they set their hand to and let all things work together for their good according to your will and your word. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we pray that you would continue to supply their physical needs and in abundance, so that they may share it with the people you have placed in their lives. Let all things be done in your name and for your glory, we thank you and praise you that you have allowed us to be a part of all that you are doing in India and in the whole earth. Food and water for the day, for the week. Every provision and supply needed to the smallest detail so that the Gospel may be preached to every soul in India and those her people will touch. In the name of Jesus.

Father, bless the women that are with child. We pray for healthy pregnancies, for healthy babies, for flawless deliveries, and for peace of mind for mom and dad. We ask that any complication that may be trying to arise in certain pregnancies would be stayed and corrected miraculously or thru medicine or thru doctors. With complete peace and complete healing. Let souls be birthed into India and into your Kingdom Father. Beautiful, healthy sons and daughters, that will be a reflection of our God. In the name of Jesus.

Father I pray against every spirit of jealousy and envy that is trying to manifest and poison the hearts of your people. Come Holy Spirit and speak Truth to their thoughts and their emotions, renew a right spirit among them. Cause the fruits of your Spirit to manifest in their hearts instead. Cause the love of Christ as described in I Cor 13 to have dominion in every area of their lives. Cause them to be wise and discerning so that they can recognize the spiritual attack behind every interaction that stirs up ungodly feelings inside their body mind and emotions. Pinch their spirit and cause them to wake up to the enemies devices. Empower them and strengthen them to resist temptations, and cause such evil to flee from them. Bind your people in India together in love Father. Let no evil prevail. Let no evil cause division. Open the doors of communication and bring your word to their remembrance so that they may not sin against you Lord. In the name of Jesus.

Be with your people in India. Call to those that are lost and broken hearted, rejected and without hope, deceived and in torment. Answer their cry in the midst of their misery and despair and let them know the God that loves them, who reclaims them, who cherishes them as his very children. Bring the focus of your church in India into alignment. Remove all distraction. Your will be done, In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India. We ask that you would let them feel your presence very near today. Whatever they are facing... whether refreshing or hardship, feast or famine, joy or grief, boredom or challenge... help them to seek your will in all things and to hear and to obey. Give them confidence, increase their faith, help them to trust you to guide them thru whatever they are facing so that they may be pleasing to you and a blessing to all those that you have placed in their life. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we pray that you would deliver those in India that are in any form or bondage. Whether they are struggling with an addiction to something, or whether they are bound up with fear and condemnation. Set them free we ask. Raise up voices and ministry in India that are skilled at walking them thru the steps to recovery and freedom thru Christ, people that will love them and who will pour Christ into their hearts and their lives. Miracles, Deliverance, We need you Father. The lost and the captives need you in India and around the world. Come Holy Spirit and reach into those unreachable places. Give your people the words to speak and the provisions to meet every physical need, so that they are able to minister to the whole person. Complete the good work that you have begun in India Father. We thank you. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for those that are under oppression, make a way Father for the powers that are persecuting them to be broken by the blood of Jesus. Let no stronghold remain that would intimidate them or hold them at a distance from you and from the people of God. Put their oppressors in confusion and scatter them, so that your people can walk in freedom, so that they can share the Gospel and the testimony that you have empowered them with as witnesses of your Love. Cast out all fear and fill their hearts with that perfect love so that they can walk with confidence and with strength. Remove every weight of condemnation and shame, and fill them with confidence in the love of their heavenly Father for them. Let them be free from despair and discouragement, and allow them to see the Hope that you have promised and that your Spirit is manifesting right now in this moment. Every bondage be broken. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, Almighty God.

Thank you Father for your love for the people of India. There is so much that we do not understand. So much misery and poverty that remains, but there is so much victory that is sweeping that land and increasing daily. Because of Christ. Because of the love of God for India and his people around the world. Compel them to come in Father. Raise up laborers to go out into every remote region and give them your words to speak, so that every soul in India will know that Jesus Christ loves them very very much -- so much so that he came a long way and suffered much, so that he could be with them and they with him. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Yes Father, we agree together for your people in India. We ask that you would use their testimony and their service and their sacrifice to shine the Truth of Christ into the lives of the people of India. Draw the lost of that nation to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Help them to understand all that he has done to restore relationship between them and God. Help them to understand that it is not a relationship based on the tyranny of men, but one based on the Love of God and His Family. Open their eyes and their hearts to encounter you Lord. In the name of Jesus.

We ask that you would provide shelter to the people of India. If they are without a home or somewhere to live and raise their family, then provide a house and a property for them to call their own. If they are needing shelter from the heat, than shield them and send cool breezes to refresh them. If they are in fear each night, then give them a place of safety to rest and to comfort their children and their family. Peace of Mind, of Body, and of Spirit. You have a place that you have prepared for each of them, you have provision, and a haven for them to meditate on your goodness. Lead them to it. Deliver them from anything that is hindering them from having it. In the name of Jesus.

Father, pour a refreshing upon your people in India. Those that have endured so much and who are weary in body and spirit. Help them to persevere and with joy. It is difficult to imagine all that they have suffered, it is impossible to comprehend what they face each day and thru the night. Come to them Holy Spirit. Bring a healing balm to their wounds, and words of comfort and encouragement. Empower them to not give up, renew their Hope, and increase their Faith. Allow them to glimpse how beautiful they are, allow them to glimpse the fruit of their labor in some way. They do not labor in vain. Their existence, their trust in God, their refusal to reject Truth... makes them beautiful and full of purpose. There are those that try to silence their voices, but You oh Lord cause them to be heard distinctly and with clarity in their silence. The enemy will not prevail against them in any way. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Father that you have not forgotten your people in India. Thank you that you will NEVER forsake them or abandon them. That they are never alone. You walk with them, and you talk to them in ways that defy every attempt of evil to separate and distance them from you. You will not let them go. Your arms will remain around them and they will remain the apple of your eye forever. Remind your people in India of this, let the lost understand it and let them believe the God that heals them, the God that heals their land. India be healed, be whole, because you are loved with an everlasting love, the love of the Almighty God for his Bride and for his Children. We praise your name Lord Jesus! Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Bless them and keep them in the center of your perfect will. Bring to their thoughts every good thing that they have witnessed by your grace. Help them in their hardships to remember your faithfulness and the nearness of your presence for so many years. When they are tempted to be discouraged or they are overwhelmed and weary, bring your words to their remembrance and cause them to be refreshed and strengthened because of your goodness. Raise up voices to let them know how much their labor and their ministry has blessed those in need, those in the family of Christ and those that are lost and wandering in a troubled world. Protect them from arrogance and pride, but assure them that their efforts have not been in vain -- that they have accomplished so much more than they realize. Bless them today Father. Meet every need of their personal lives as well as the needs of every life that you have called theirs to touch. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we agree together for your Church in India. Bind your people together in your love, bring perfect love and allow it to dominate every heart and life in their congregations. Bring healing to every division that the enemy has instigated among your people. Father, heal relationships. Cause your people to forgive, not so that injustice and sin can prevail, but so that those that truly want peace and a clean heart can be cleansed and made whole. Let your kindness Lord lead them to repentance. Let every man confess his own sin, and reward him greatly for his humility. Give your people divine wisdom, and bring them into agreement so that every conflict will be settled and every heart will be at peace. In the name of Jesus.

Let every record of wrong that is held in their hearts and minds be released and erased. Let them not hold grudges against one another, and let them not remain bound to the guilt and condemnation of their own sins. Help them to forgive themselves as well. With men such things are impossible. With men, we struggle to find the balance between accountability and mercy. But Father you know the workings of our hearts and minds, you know exactly how to humble each of us and how to inspire us to sacrifice for one another. Bring unity to your church in India and around the world. Restore what the enemy has caused to be separated because of our own sins. One heart, One mind, One Spirit, One Love. Help us Father. We are splintered and scattered, bleeding and angry, afraid and bound up. Set us free so that we may free others. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
