Pray specifically for the Julaha of India

I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

readIsaiah 9:6

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
