Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would comfort those who are grieving this very moment, as well as those who have cried for so long that they have no more tears to shed. Those who are hurting so deeply in the streets, in a prison, in their houses, in hidden rooms, feeling so alone. We pray for that child, that man, that woman, who are crying many tears this morning. Whether it is their own pain and suffering, or that of a loved one -- or the torment because of the loss or uncertainty of a loved one. Comfort them Lord. You see their tears, let them know, some how, some way, that you are with them and their loved ones. Assure them that their tears are not wasted or insignificant. You have said in your word that you collect the tears of your people in a bottle and that they are no small thing to you. We cry out with our brothers and sisters in India and we ask that you intervene today in the midst of their pain and their grief. Give them healing and restoration and joy in place of their sorrow and their heartache. In the name of Jesus.
“There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still," Corrie ten Boom. Let these words be an encouragement to their hearts. Let them find hope and strength in them. Let them know that there is a Light that is shining in their darkness even now, and that light is Jesus. He is with them. He lights the path around them and he is fighting for them. Not just for their freedom from the pain, but for their wholeness and complete well-being. Help them to find the strength to hold on, empower them to not give up. Speak to them in ways that are so real that they can almost feel your breath in their ear as they hear your voice. Walk them thru every challenge step by step, always forward, always toward Christ and the many blessings you have planned for them. Empower them to bring others with them as they are brought out of that darkness, out of that place of bondage. Thank you Father.
Sometimes the darkness goes on for so long. Sometimes the intensity of the pain seems only to increase. Sometimes all that is happening around us looks so different from the way things should be. Help us Lord! It is a desperate place to be, and yet many are there today in India and around the world. Intervene in every situation. Move upon the heart of every believer. Overwhelm the hearts and minds of their enemies. Bring relief some how. Cause the rush toward darkness and the swirl of evil around them to be broken. Hear the cry of your people of the innocent. Route the enemy so that they may find a way of escape. You have promised that you would keep us from more than we can bear. You know our limits better than we do, and we trust you Father. In your wisdom and your mercy, we ask that you remember those who are near their limits. Carry them, Fight for them, Strengthen them. Free them. In the name of Jesus. We thank you precious Savior. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would remind each and every one of them that you are with them, that you have not forgotten them, that nothing will ever separate them from the love of God, that you see the pain and anguish in their lives and you are fighting for them, that you know their needs and you will provide all. We thank you and we praise you Father. We petition you to pour blessing out upon your people in that nation, our brothers and our sisters, your children. In the name of Jesus.
Father, we pray for those who are in the valley of decision today. For those who are facing choices, some seemingly insignificant but still not clearly discernable. Other choices will determine life or death for themselves, or for those that they love. Give them wisdom and courage to choose your will. Help them to know what your will is in every situation. We are not standing in their place, we do not know what they are facing, we do not know the details and the depth of the consequences of the choice that is before them... but you do Father. And you have a plan for them to walk thru this hardship. You have prepared a path, step by step, that will lead them to great blessing. Give them peace in making the decision, give them clarity, and remind them to seek you and the wisdom of your word. Help them after they have weighed it all out in your presence to do what seems best to them, committing all to you. In the name of Jesus.
We pray for those who are heavily burdened for their country and their people. We pray for those in India that love that nation because it is their homeland. We ask that you would help them to cast their cares upon you Lord, to let you help them carry such a great weight. They see the poverty, they see the children with such great need, they see the injustice and the bondage and the sin of their nation... and their heart breaks. They grieve over not being able to supply the need, to help the poor and the orphan more effectively. They cry for their nation, they cry out to you Lord. They feel so hopeless and small and powerless... but they are not. They are representatives of the most high God.
You have provision and power to impart to the people of India that they could never imagine. You have supplied them with the one thing that will fully meet every need, you gave them Jesus, you gave us Jesus. There is so much we do not understand... but we know that he is the answer to every question, he is our provision, and our hope. He tells us to ask in faith, to be patient and expectant no matter the appearance of things around us, and he has promised to answer with power and compassion. He is not a man that he would lie. Help India, help us, to believe in you Lord, help our small faith, increase it, we need you in this hour of your church, India needs you and cries out to you. Come to her. Reveal yourself to her people. Thank you Jesus.
We ask that you would help the people of India to make Godly choices in every area of their lives. We pray that you would empower them to trust you with the consequences that will result. We pray that you would keep them from all fear, that you would protect and provide for them, that you would make a way for them to help their loved ones to understand and to know you Lord, that you would use them to do great things for your glory. And most of all, let them never forget how very much you love them, you love India, you love her people. In the name of Jesus. We thank you Father. Amen.

Father, we give you praise for this day. We thank you that you are near and present and intervening in every area of our lives. We invite you and welcome you and love you. Be with your people in India today. Warm their hearts and fill them with great joy. As the sun shines above them. let their burdens be lighter and help them to trust you with them. As the rain falls or the clouds gather, let them find refreshing and quiet -- peace of body and mind and soul. You care for them. You love them so very much. Let them not be tempted to forget that, but flood their life in this moment with your goodness and your comfort. Cause them to be full of courage, to know, to be full of faith without having to see, to be forever moving forward in the things that you have asked them to accomplish in the earth, in their nation and the world. In the name of Jesus.
Father pour a gift of patience into their hearts and ours. As the time seems to drag on, as the world seems unchanged around them, as the wait seems so long, and they grow weary and restless... cause them to lean upon you, to look to you for strength ant perseverance. Help us to be patient. With so much suffering in that nation, it almost seems unfair that the wait must continue -- but we trust you Lord. We know your love, we know your power and authority in the heavens and the earth, and so we wait with patience -- always looking to you to make us able, always knowing that you have a plan, you are working something that will bless everyone involved far beyond what we could have imagined or expected. Fill us with expectation and excitement and zeal to trust you and to not grow weary in doing good. Divine anointing. Divine Strength to your people in India. In the name of Jesus.
Look upon those that feel so small, so insignificant, who are burdened at not being able to do more, to relieve the pain of their people quicker. Help them to understand your hurt and your anger at their suffering as well. Help them to see that you have paid a great price to restore them and free them and to bring an end to the evil that has cursed this world. Let them glimpse what a powerful difference they have made. Give them a vision and a revelation, dreams if necessary, to see all the people that their faithfulness is blessing and will bless. Reveal the lie of the enemy that all their efforts, all their labor was for nothing -- they will not lose their reward for even the smallest cup of water. You have seen their heart. You have seen every word of encouragement that they have whispered, every act of kindness, every sacrifice, every job done with absolute excellence for your glory... you have not forgotten what people seem to forget and overlook. Assure their hearts that their reward is great, and that the fruit of their labor is abundant. They have toiled because of their love for you Father, for their God, and for the people that you have placed in their life. Affirm them. Speak encouragement to your people in India Lord. They give so much. Fill them with every good thing that comes only from God. Fill them with your Spirit. Those that feel so burned out and empty... renew their strength and pour a fresh anointing into their hearts. In the name of Jesus.
Thank you Father.
Prepare your laborers for the Beautiful Harvest that you are bringing in these last days.
All that you have promised in your word, will be done, and we give you praise Jesus that you have invited us and equipped us to be a part of all that you are doing -- healing the broken hearted, guiding the lost to salvation, and setting the captives free. We love you Lord. Amen.

Father,
In Jesus' name we ask that You help the Christians of India to persevere.
Yes Father, we agree together for your people in India. We ask that you would provide for every need this day. As the hungry search for food, provide nutrition and even treats. As the thirsty set out in search of water, let it be found in abundance and let someone even bring it to their door or to their village for them. As the homeless seek out shelter from the elements, give them somewhere to rest and to call home. As the helpless find themselves at risk, give them protection and places of safety. Send someone to intervene on their behalf and make a way for them to live in freedom rather than fear. Look upon the people of India today Lord. Provide for their spiritual needs above all else. Help them to understand that what they are truly searching for is Jesus Christ. Send your people to meet that need, to introduce them to you, to open the door in their life for the lost to know you. Send your Spirit to draw the hearts of the people of India to you. We are your witnesses and servants and family, but it is you that convinces them Father, your kindness that leads them to repentance, your goodness that they fall in love with. Reveal yourself to India today. In the name of Jesus.
Thank you for your presence in our lives. There is no place that you cannot see us, no bondage that can separate us from your love... we will never be alone, never be forgotten by our God. He fights for us and we are free in Christ. Make this Truth real to your people in India Father. Pour out a great Faith into their hearts and minds. Remove all doubt and feelings of hopelessness and cause them to be a confident people, a courageous people, unshaken, immovable, unwaivering, never compromising, sure in their salvation and in the love of God for them -- specifically for them as individuals and as a people. Multiply that confidence and love among them and every person that you have placed in their life, and let your goodness shine forth in all that they do and all that they say. Make your people in India a great people, a blessed people, a people that blesses many because of the love of Jesus.
Pour your gifts out upon the children of India, physical skills and spiritual gifting. Anoint their parents, Raise up spiritual moms and dads to train them in the way that they should go, to disciple them, to reveal the hope and the future that you have planned for them Father. Give them dreams and words that build up your church, that encourages your people, and gives direction so that they may accomplish all that you have called them to do. Give them great discernment as they study your Word and pray, and couple that discernment with wisdom -- always wisdom -- to use that discernment as you will Lord. Your gifts are real, your gifts are for purpose, your gifts are not a game or to take lightly. Help this generation of the Church in India and around the world to respect the Almighty God and the gifts that he has poured out for them. Cause them to give honor to whom honor is due, on every level, with understanding and with a humble heart. In the name of Jesus. Thank you wonderful and gracious Father. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Let your presence be felt and embraced in that nation as never before. Comfort the broken hearted, provide for those that are hungry and thirsty and in need of physical provisions, heal the sick, free the captive, forgive the sinner, equip the saints... in the name of Jesus. How great is our God!!!
Father we pray that you would pour out a special anointing of your resurrection power. All that was dead, all that was stolen, all that once glorified your name but that is silent in this hour --
BRING IT BACK TO LIFE in the name of JESUS.
Ministries and areas of ministry that have been dismantled prematurely, cause them to breathe again and to thrive and to be rebuilt even better and stronger and more effective. Sources of provision and supply that have been cut off, heal that lifeline and let the resources flow in abundance to every person in India that serves you, that are instruments in your hands to preach the Gospel and that sincerely love the lost so that they may know Salvation thru Jesus Christ.
Father, hearts that once burned brightly for you, passions that could not be subdued, voices that could not be silenced, prayers that were fervent and faithful... let them live again. Those that have suffered so much, that have been wounded inside the church and outside the church, those that have been left for dead and abandoned by people that they trusted, those that have been deceived by sin and buried by their own shame, those that others have manipulated and oppressed until their testimony was seemingly gone and forgotten, those persecuted and made to fear and to flee their calling... bring them back, set their feet on solid ground once again, breathe the breath of life into them once again and let all the world take note of the resurrection power of our God. In the name of Jesus.
Hope.. live again.
Freedom... live again.
Passion... live again.
Worship... live again.
Courage... live again.
Forgiveness... live again.
Faith... live again.
In the name of Jesus, for the glory of God, amidst the rejoicing of his people.
restore life to all that was dead in India Father. We praise you and thank you.
Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would provide food for the hungry and clean water, that you would meet every physical need of shelter and clothing and provision. We also pray that the Gospel would be preached throughout all of India. We ask that your servants and your messengers be dispatched to every village and home in the physical and in the spiritual, that you would send someone to tell the lost about the love of Jesus Christ either thru word of mouth, tracts, dreams, churches, or acts of kindness on the street. Let all of India see you somehow Lord and let them hear your voice calling them, let them see your hand extended to them offering salvation and freedom. Encourage their hearts in the midst of their darkness and cause them to understand the Truth of who Jesus Christ truly is. In the name of Jesus.
Protect your servants as they minister in your name Jesus.
Father, encourage your people as they serve you this day, those that serve with contentment and joy, those that are weary in the task, those that are struggling with their own salvation. Let them remember what drew them to you in the beginning and pour out a fresh revelation of your love for them. Cause them to fall in love with Jesus all over again, cause them to become zealous but with a greater wisdom than before. Help them to be a respected voice of Truth and integrity in their villages as they love and serve those around them with a humble heart and a strong faith. Help them to be a reflection of you Jesus, to obey the will of the Father in every aspect, and to cherish every word he has spoken thru Christ and thru the Holy Bible. In the name of Jesus.
Thank you Father for your laborers. Thank you for their faithfulness and constant sacrifice for the people in India and around the world. We are all in such great need of you. We are all desperate to know you more and more each day. Have your way in every area of our lives, have your way in every life in India. The poor and the outcast cry out for you. Walk among them revealing your plans to bless them with good things and the very love of God. Let them not lose heart though their hardship is great. Let them not lose hope. Bring a revival to India Father. Let them be a light, let them shine forth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and with great joy. Save the lost in India Father, Let your people in that nation help to lead their countrymen and their families to Freedom in you. Comfort their hearts and restore their Hope. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you look upon them with favor. We ask that you would search their hearts and grant their deepest need. You know exactly what to provide so that their every need will be met physically, emotionally, spiritually. We ask that you would provide all and in abundance, according to your wisdom and your mercy. Supplies for their schools and their churches, teachers and laborers, transportation, shelter, food and water, refreshing and opportunities for warm fellowship. All things in the name of Jesus, and multiply the increase as they share the blessings of God with those that you have placed in their lives. Open doors for the Gospel to be preached. We thank you and praise you Father. In the name of Jesus.
We pray for protection for your people, for those that are lost but who are hungry and searching out your people for answer. We pray for their families and ask that you would send your angels to compass about them and keep them from all harm. Put a hedge of protection around their homes, their churches, their schools, their place of business, their families, their person, their modes of transportation, everywhere they go, and all that they do. Keep them in your perfect will, Cover them with your Grace and your favor Father. If the enemy attempts to bring them harm, let your people seem to vanish before their eyes, let them not even be seen by any evil that would seek them out to hurt them. Nothing will hinder the word of God or his people. In the name of Jesus.
Finances Father. We ask that you pour out financial provision. So many needs, such limited funds when we see it on paper or hold it in our hands. But Father you have great plans for India, you know how much it will take to finance it, and you are able to provide all. Help our Faith to believe you for all things, even the money that is needed. Bring increase and prosper your people. Give them peace of mind to not give the enemy a foothold as bills approach or money is nonexistent. Protect your people from fear or doubt. Let them be full of Faith. Cause the finances to pour in at the appropriate times. Cause miraculous provision and open the hearts of the suppliers to give generously to your people, good deals, bargains, donations of supplies and unexpected financial support. You are not concerned about not having enough to accomplish all that is in your heart, you are not limited in any way Father, help us to understand, cause us to see and to know as surely as you do. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father.
India, your beautiful daughter, calls upon you today. She desires her Father's embrace and presence in every home and village of her nation. Come Holy Spirit. Come Lord Jesus. Pour out a visitation in that nation that has never been seen or imagined. We love and praise you Mighty God. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

I was researching some information on the uprising in Tibet, when I happened to search India here on the Christianity.com website... I cannot believe the many articles about violence against Christians in India. I printed several off but haven't read them yet because I'm off to a dr's appointment. I plan to read them as soon as possible, perhaps in the waiting room. There is so much to pray over.
I've been searching for information about the situation there, but have only found one consistent news source. I can't believe that I never thought to search the news archives of this site.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. There is so much opposition on every side, but you are in there midst and you will keep them from all evil. Thank you Jesus. We ask that you would help them to be strong and courageous in the face of so much darkness. We ask that you would help them to see with their spiritual eyes, all that you are doing behind the scenes. Help them to know that great things are being accomplished even though they may not always be able to see it. Allow them to glimpse the fruit of their labor to encourage their heart as they labor so diligently. Let them know how very pleasing their service is to you, and that they are never alone no matter how cut off they feel. Comfort their hearts, let them feel your presence around them and in their hearts. Be their strength and their protection. Compass your angels around them, their loved ones, their ministries and all that they are ministering to in your name. In the name of Jesus.
Father, guide them in all things. Help them to make wise decisions, decisions that will please you and that will accomplish your perfect will. Help them to know when to move and when to remain still, when to speak and when to be silent, where to labor and the places to avoid. Pour keen discernment into their hearts and minds. Give them direction thru wise counsel, and protect them from deceptive voices that would cause them harm. If any are among their circle that are working against the cause of Christ, then reveal that one and help them to handle them as you direct. Let them not be afraid, God will not be mocked. His word will not return void. All will be accomplished. Your will be done Father. In the name of Jesus.
Thank you for your presence in our lives. Thank you for all that you are doing in India and around the world. Thank you for healing us physically and for healing our broken hearts, thank you for restoring our hope and setting us free from every kind of bondage. Be with those who remain in physical bondage at the moment. Free them from the oppression upon their heart and their mind as they wait to be free in the physical. You have perfect timing Lord. Help us to be patient and to not give up our hope. Comfort the hearts of those who have lost loved ones, especially those who have loved ones that were kidnapped. I cannot imagine the torment that they are tempted to feel. Help them Father. Return their loved ones to them. Restore their peace as only you can. Our hearts ache for them and for their loss. We cry out to you, because we know that you are able to intervene. Come Lord Jesus. India needs your wisdom and your mercy as never before. Empower your people to believe you for all things. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Be with them in all that they do today, encourage their hearts. Provide for their needs both physically and spiritually. Healthy food and clean water, safe haven and provision for every need. Provide a good wage and job opportunities and cause all to prosper that they set their hand to do. Use them as instruments in your hands to share the Gospel with all that they meet. Draw the lost Father by your Holy Spirit. Provide tracts and school supplies and Bibles to put into the hands of those lost in darkness. Give them the words to speak to help them understand your great love for the people of India and around the world. Empower your people and anoint them to accomplish all in your name. In the name of Jesus.
Keep your hedge of protection around them. Disrupt every plan of the enemy to harass or harm your people or their families or their ministries. Cause fear to rise up in the hearts of their enemy without explanation and let them abandon their plans to attack them. No more kidnapping, no more murders, no more violence against the people of God according to your wisdom and your mercy Father. We trust your perfect will. We know that you are in control of all things, that you can work miracles in this cursed world. We also know that there is much that we do not understand. Comfort the hearts of your people in India who have suffered great loss and persecution and violence already. Free their loved ones from unjust prisons and bondage. Free their loved ones from spiritual darkness. Intervene Father, and perform your perfect will in every area of their lives we pray. In the name of Jesus.
Thank you that you are always with us. Thank you that your wisdom is so far beyond us, always working a better plan than we are able to see in the natural. We submit to your will to your plan Father. We desire your wisdom and not our own. You are the God of all that is good, you are the giver of good things. Your sacrifice is declared in all the earth because of your great love for your son and for each of us. We love you Father Son and Holy Spirit, because you first loved us. Help our small faith to increase. Multiply our love and our faith. We need you. Your people need you in India as never before. Hear their cries and answer with power as you have always done. Great and mighty is our God. He is worthy of all praise. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, India cries out for you today. We join our voices with her, our precious sister, and we cry out for her people and her children. Their suffering is great. Many of us live in prosperous countries and have no idea what it is like for those who live with persecution and in severe want of basic necessities. It is beyond our understanding, but the little bit that we have glimpsed has broken our hearts. And so we ask you Father, to intervene on behalf of your people in India. In the name of Jesus.
Provide food and water and every basic need, not just the need but beyond even that so that they may be blessed abundantly. Pour your favor out upon them in that nation. Give them favor and respect among their countrymen so that doors will open for the Gospel to be shared. Give them favor with you and all that you are doing in that nation, so that they may please you Father and serve the one True God. You are our Hope and our Strength. Be all things to them. Empower them. Enable them. Equip them to accomplish your perfect will in their lives and in the lives of the lost in India, their people, their families and friends. Help them to communicate your great love for each and every soul in that nation and around the world. In the name of Jesus.
Father, we pray for those that are recovering from abuse or attack for their faith. We pray that you would heal their bodies minds and emotions. We pray that you would restore all that they have lost, all that the enemy has robbed them of. We pray that you would multiply blessing back to them a hundred times over. Not so that things were as they were before -- but so that things are even better and so far beyond what they could have imagined. We do not know how that could even be possible, we can not know when the blessing will be fulfilled, but we trust in you Lord. We ask for patience and perseverance for our brothers and sisters in India as they wait. Let them know that you are not satisfied that they wait, it is no small thing to you, it is not your will that such suffering be in the earth, that their hearts are broken and their families attacked... it is not your will and you are angry that your children are hurting.
Assure them that you do not stand by unconcerned like some distant tyrant -- rather you are with them. You are walking among them, crying with them, holding them, fighting for them, protecting them, providing, healing, working a plan so that their people as a whole will have the chance to be saved. Let them know that you see every loss they suffer, every sacrifice they make, every tear they shed in the waiting. No. Their pain is no small thing to our God. You see them Jesus. You feel them. And you are delivering them at this very moment. Please come quickly Lord. Their suffering is great. We are all so in need of you. Keep our hearts from bitterness and unforgiveness and discouragement. We need you Jesus. India needs you. We join our voices and we cry out that you would deliver her people from such great suffering. Bring the captives home. Deliver those that have been kidnapped and held in bondage. Free the people of India from their sin and from the sin others have inflicted upon them. Thank you Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India today. Everywhere I turn I hear about your people ministering there. Bless them and keep them in your perfect will. We pray for provision in the physical and in the spiritual. Encouragement and comfort and great faith in the midst of much persecution. We ask that you would open doors for the Gospel to be preached, that you would provide the laborers and supplies needed to reach every soul in that nation. In the name of Jesus.
We pray for the lost of India Lord. Help them to see you Jesus. Help them to understand in real and relevant ways how much you love them and you desire to have relationship with them. Send Godly voices into every area of their life and speak to them personally, one to one, face to face, so that they will know without doubt that you are in their midst. Confront them with your Truth, draw them by your Spirit, let your kindness be reflected thru your people so that they are led to the cross of Christ. Let them know salvation and acceptance. Those that feel as though they are outcast and rejected... let them know you as friend and family. Send your people into their life and give them a family to walk with them in this world, neighbors that understand their suffering and their joys, a network of power that will build them up and strengthen them in their walk. In the name of Jesus.
We love you Lord. We thank you that we are never alone. We thank you that you had a plan before we even realized our need of you. You fought for us and you continue to grant us victory in all things thru Christ Jesus our Lord. Be with your people in India as never before. Put your arms around them. Remind them that you are their rear guard, that no enemy will triumph over the people of God. Renew their hope and refresh them -- body mind and spirit. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India. We ask that they would be encouraged and refreshed. We cannot imagine what many are facing in that nation. But you are with them Father and it is your desire to deliver them from every evil thing. We ask that you would put your arms around them and comfort their hurts, that you would send your angels to stand guard over them and their families and ministries, and that you would walk with them and guide them in the big and the small. We thank you Father. In the name of Jesus.
We ask that you would continue to provide for every need, both physical and spiritual. We ask that you would watch over the schools and the churches and every gathering of discipleship study. Help your people to build one another up in Christ, help them to sharpen one another's character, nurture relationships among them Lord so that their gifts fit together so that your church is strong in India. In the name of Jesus.
We ask that you would protect them from all fear. Help them to trust in you and in your word. When they are unsure or the enemy tries to intimidate or deceive them, let them not doubt or waiver in their faith. Holy Spirit bring the Word of God to their remembrance and let it manifest according to the measure of their faith. In the name of Jesus. Release a great faith among your people in India Father. Let them rejoice in the promises of God and let them see every promise fulfilled and multiplied in the lives of their children and in those that are young in the Faith. Let your people labor and sow with glad hearts, and we ask that you allow them to help bring in a great harvest for your glory Lord. Remind them that your word will not return void, but that it will accomplish all that you have sent it to do. We praise you Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, thank you for PeaceofGod and all who are praying for India and for your people around the world. Bless them, see their hearts of compassion and hear their prayers as you have promised. Our God is not mocked, our God is not distracted, our God is very present and faithful to hear our petitions and to answer all with wisdom and grace -- so far beyond our understanding. We love you Father. In the name of Jesus we pray.
We cry out for India today. We agree together that every need will be met physically and spiritually. We agree that every lost soul in India would experience Christ in some way today. Send your people Father. Put your love in their hearts, your word in their mouths, and every good thing in their hands to accomplish your will in the lives of the people of that nation. Every act of kindness, every word of wisdom or Godly counsel or advice, every gift of food or water or necessity... let it bring a multiplied harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God. Cause the confused and deceived to see beyond their hurt and their hatred and the enemy's lies... help them to see the Truth of the love of God for them and for every person that their life will touch. Fill them with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and draw them to the good things that God has done for them and that you have provided to prosper them. In the name of Jesus.
Open the eyes of those that are blinded by hate. Open the hearts of those who are consumed with unforgiveness. Touch those hearts that have hardened to stone (only you can reach into those deep places), and cause them to soften so that they can live again. That is what you have come to do Jesus. That is what you have sent your people to do in India and in all the earth.... to give LIFE, and life abundantly. We ask that you do it Lord. We ask that you lead us and guide your people in that nation to be your hands and your feet to perform it. Let India live. Let the lost of that nation, every adult, every child, every family, every community -- let India LIVE. In the name of Jesus. She cries out to you broken and wounded and dying, just as each of us did, look upon her with compassion and help her to understand how much you love her. Help her to receive healing and the many good things that you desire to lavish upon her. Give her beauty for ashes. Give her joy or sorrow. Reveal yourself to India Father. In the name of Jesus. We praise you, precious God, and we thank you for your great love. Amen.

Father, we praise you and thank you for another day. We ask that you would pour blessing and favor upon your people in India. We ask that you would speak to the hearts of the lost and draw them by your Holy Spirit so that they may know the love of God for them. We ask that you would create divine encounters and that you would send your people to just the right person or village or circumstance. Give them your heart, your words, your provision, your wisdom, and your mercy. Help them make a difference in some way in the lives of many in India right now this moment, bring increase from every seed that has been planted and that is being planted. You said the harvest would be great, and we believe you Father. In the name of Jesus.
W pray that you would raise up leaders and officials and military men that have great integrity and a heart for Truth. We pray that you would move upon their hearts and draw them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We ask that they would show your people favor in the courts and in every level of the legal system. We pray that they would be men of character and would provide honest business deals and community affairs with your people and with the people of India in general. Father protect your people from all injustice, protect them from unjust judges and from men with power who lack integrity. Keep your people in your perfect will and let every plan of the enemy to bring them harm fail completely. Everything the enemy or evil men try to plot against the people of God, let it only serve to bring a greater blessing to them, let it only further the Gospel, let it only bring your people a greater joy that cannot be measured. In the name of Jesus.
Father help those who worship idols of wood and stone to see how lifeless such gods are. Let them understand the evil and the emptiness that consumes those who worship such things. Let them see the beauty of our God. Cause them to understand that there is only one true and living God and that his son Jesus Christ has come to lead them out of darkness and into the beauty of his Light and his Presence. Remove all methods of deception Father, and allow them to see clearly, with clear minds, so that they will not miss their chance to know the God that loves them so very much. Move upon the hearts and lives of the lost in India Jesus. Speak to them in dreams and in your word and thru encounters with your people. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that every need be met, physical and spiritual. There are children and families seeking food to eat today, some have not been fed for some time. There are some who have had no clean water to drink and barely enough filthy water to survive. The need is so great. The sickness increases among the poor and oppressed people of India. Father, send basic and necessary supplies, healthy food in abundance, clean water, medicines, schools, places of safety. In the name of Jesus. And pour provision out in abundance so that the Gospel can be preached and heard by the people of that nation. Meet the physical needs, so that they can be healthy and strong to diligently perform all that you have called them to accomplish in your name. Bless the people of India Father, and let them know your great love for them and the peoples of the world. In the name of Jesus.
Father, we pray for the leaders that you have placed in your churches in India. We pray for missionary agencies that funnel supplies and encouragement and support to your people living in that nation. We ask they you would encourage and refresh your pastors and teachers and leaders in the field. Protect their person, their families, their ministries, their churches, their faith. In the name of Jesus. Bring to their hearts and minds all that convinced them to love and serve you at the start of their walk. Let the glory and the beauty of it be felt just as intensely, and birth that new life in them, that freshness, that refreshing once again. A renewed vigor in their spiritual man, one that is full of passion and zeal and love and faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you Father.
Give the pastors and leaders insight and discernment as they lead your people under your authority and with your direction. Help them to have revolutionary ideas, miraculous insight, in how to resolve the many tensions and needs that arise each day among their congregations and communities. Give them wisdom in abundance, and let the people of India respect them with a great respect as they reflect the character and person of Jesus Christ. Cause your leaders to be like you Lord. Equip and teach and anoint them to be good shepherds, wise stewards, fierce warriors, and gentle peacemakers all according to your Word. In the name of Jesus.
Father, minister to their every need, especially to their hearts and spirits. If any are tempted with sin, empower them and convict them to resist that temptation. Cause the enemy to flee from them as they cry out to you and they choose to obey your will and not their own. Heal their hurts Father, things that people have committed against their loved ones, against themselves, and against people that they love. They are human, they are not machines. They feel and bleed and hurt and have needs... comfort them and heal them and affirm them as they labor so faithfully and diligently and sacrificially. How long has it been since they have received ministry, some are in desperate need of a word of encouragement or some small but sincere Thanks. Speak it to them Father. Speak Life and Joy and Assurance thru your Spirit, thru your word, and thru your people. Bless your laborers with great blessing today. Empower them physically and spiritually to lead your people to reach every single person, family and community in India. Thank you Father. We love and praise you for you are so full of faithfulness and compassion. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we agree together for your people in India to be blessed and refreshed today. Move in every area of their lives and keep them in your perfect will. Whatever season they are needing to walk through help them to look to you for guidance and strength. A special strength to endure hardship during challenging situations. A special strength to resist temptation in times of ease and prosperity. Open doors for them to build relationship with the people that you have placed in their lives, and give them your words to share the Gospel with them in ways that will reveal the love of Christ to them with power and with beauty. In the name of Jesus.
Father we pray for the women of God in India today, young and old, girls and grandmothers, moms and teachers, sisters and aunts, wives and leaders. Search their hearts today and renew a right spirit in each of them. Help them to walk humbly with you Lord, to be your witnesses with boldness and with gentleness. Give the older ones wisdom and discernment to speak into the lives of the younger women, and give the young women wisdom and discernment to glean from their example and their insight. In the name of Jesus.
We pray for the women who are newly married or who are new moms. Help them to establish a strong home rooted in the love of God and the holiness of God. Help them to be a blessing to their husbands and cause their husbands to value and appreciate their wives as Christ loves his Church, his Bride. Move upon their hearts to love their husbands with honor and respect as you have commanded in your Word, and help them to nurture their children and to train them in the ways of our God. Let them be strong women of God, a calm in every storm, a help and encouragement to their husbands, a precious treasure to their families. In the name of Jesus.
We pray for the girls and teens and single women of India. Prepare them for the calling that you have placed upon their lives. The calling in their work, and the calling as mothers and wives. Protect their purity and strengthen them to resist temptation. Blind the eyes of anyone that would try to hinder their walk with you Lord, Hide them from the eyes of any would-be attacker or person that would attempt to rob them of their innocence and purity. Let your angels stand guard around their bodies, their hearts, their minds, and their spirits. Expose every lie of the enemy that would attempt to lead them astray after other gods or some doctrine of darkness. In the name of Jesus.
Father, bless those that are business women, bless those that are teachers of the Gospel, bless those that are sacrificing so much for the good of their husband and their children. Encourage and affirm those that feel so small and powerless and insignificant. Give them creativity to use the resources at hand to be productive and to meet the needs of their family and neighbors and friends. Multiply every thing that they touch in your name. Prosper their labor and increase the fruit of it a hundred times over. Fashion their character and guide them to be of good reputation and admired for their love of God and their love of people. We thank you Father. In the name of Jesus. Bless their families because of them, and bless every Godly man in India with a Godly wife. Amen.
