Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh who have come to know You out of a different faith. We thank You for Your unfailing love and for calling each of them by name. We ask that You would remember them in their journey of faith, strengthening them and guiding them in their walk with You.
Lord, we also lift up the families of the tribal Christians who have lost their lives this year. We pray for Your comfort and healing to surround them as they mourn the loss of their loved ones. May Your peace that surpasses all understanding be their portion, and may they find solace in Your presence.
Furthermore, we bring before You our brothers and sisters among the Rohingya refugees. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over them in the midst of their difficult circumstances. Provide for their needs, both physical and spiritual, and grant them opportunities to find fellowship and support even in the refugee camps. Let Your light shine through them, bringing hope and encouragement to those around them.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to Your people. May Your love and grace abound in Bangladesh, bringing transformation and revival. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
