Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India and around the world. Thank you that you have not forgotten a single soul, that you are working on behalf of each and everyone to lead them to the joy and wholeness that you have planned from the moment that you breathed life into them at conception. We are never alone, whether a working mom, or an orphan in a violent culture, or a missionary living on foreign soil long term. No matter what we face... persecution, suffering, loss, sacrifice, sickness... you are with us and fighting for us and ensuring our victory on so many levels. Thank you Father. Let the people of India hear that message of Hope, let them know with absolute assurance that God sees them and is working something beautiful for them and their loved ones. Cause all who will call upon your name to have great Faith in who you are and all that you have said, remove all doubt, protect them from all deception and from all discouragement. Speak to their hearts and their minds and their bodies thru your Holy Spirit, and be their strength and their salvation in these times of so much trouble. In the name of Jesus. The needs in India are many... physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Protect your people Father, from every evil thing that would try to rise up against them. Bring down their enemies, bind them and open their eyes to the evil that has consumed them. Bring salvation, bring the Good News, Let the Gospel be preached to the deepest darkness, the blackest of hearts, and let souls be set free... bring salvation to India and her neighbors like never before. Release a spirit of Faith and of Revival that has never been seen... according to your wisdom and your mercy. The year is closing so quickly, as are the doors to that region. Let your people plant with all diligence. Guide them to the good soil and let your word cause a mighty harvest, abundant and full of promise for that nation and that entire region of the world. Let every resource flood that nation, let it overflow so that every need is met to further the Gospel. Fill India with Light -- you are the Light of the World Jesus. Make yourself known to her people so that they can lead others to you as well. In the name of Jesus. Let every legal system, every person with power in India be subject to the will of the Almighty God. Even when they don't even realize or understand why they are doing what they do.... use those in law enforcement and the courts and the prisons to bless the people of God. Every attempt to harm them... turn it around and bring provision and a hedge of protection around your people so that they may remain in your perfect will -- so that doors will open for them to share your Truth and your Love with a hurting world. Place key people in the prisons and in every area or location of persecution... and open doors for them to minister to your people. To comfort them and make them able to bear the wounds and fatigue of whatever they must face. Let there be hands and feet and voices every step of the way to bring refreshing and ministry to the people of God. Speak to those suffering persecution in this hour of the church... bring your word and your promises to their minds and let them be full of Faith and Power for the glory of God. In the name of Jesus. Use your people in India. Bless them, empower them, equip them, cause them to be strong and full of courage as they face the darkness, let their suffering for your name be their joy and their comfort and their zeal, free the captives, fill your people with praise and rejoicing in the face of much persecution... no more than they can bear... shield them from being overwhelmed, but let them be unafraid and unashamed to shine your light into the darkness. Cause your people around the world to pray, to go and to join them, to walk beside them, to send provision, to offer up sacrifices financially and physically and spiritually as they pray and serve and build up the family of God in India and around the world. Help us Father as each of us does our part to perform your perfect will in all the earth... to follow Christ's example... to serve and to please the God that loves us so dearly as his children. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
