Pray for Suraj Komaravalli
Print This ItemAlmighty and everlasting God, we praise and thank you for your grace that is always sufficient for us.
We pray for continuous wisdom, knowledge and attention to hear your voice so that we would move and minister according to your leading.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created many difficult situations in India and we pray especially for those on the margins as they still struggle with debts, loss of jobs, loss of business, chaos, uncertainty, depression and loneliness. Give us the strength O Lord, that CBM, through the local churches, could continue to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ and bring hope in their brokenness.
We thank you for faithful donors, prayer partners and well-wishers, who have a special heart for the ministry in India. We pray that you would bless them and their families immensely.
We look to you lead us well in partnership with the local Indian churches in our endeavor to empower and transform the lives of the poor widows and small children attending tutoring classes in the Soura community. We pray for community acceptance of the girls who were rescued from human trafficking in Kolkata. We seek your direction in the ministerial formation of young students as they train to be pastors and leaders in the Oriya, Soura, Naga and Telugu Baptist churches. We also pray for the many unemployed Mising and Ao Naga youth and women – that through the Faith + Work initiatives they may see opportunities and success to sustain themselves.
We remember the leadership of our India partners and seek your blessings upon their ministerial plans and goals. We particularly pray for Oriya Baptists as they elect a new body of leaders.
We pray for an opportunity to be vaccinated and protected from COVID-19 so that we may continue to minister with good health and sound mind, especially during my travel to the field areas where local partners are located.
In the many fields where my CBM colleagues serve in different and difficult situations around the world, we ask for your continued blessing as we all together work to bring shalom in the name of Jesus.
O Lord we put forward our supplications at your feet and seek your mercy. Be with us and help us. In Christ’s name we pray, amen.

As the second wave of COVID-19 overcomes Thailand and Myanmar, people have to face more challenges than before. The Thai-Myanmar border remains closed. The students from Myanmar are still not able to get back to the campus. They are struggling with living there and learning online under various obstacles. I pray that you will grant every teacher and student of TBTI the strength to keep on and that they may experience your provision in this difficult time.
God, I would like to remember the Lahu mission project in Myanmar. We had to cancel our trip due to the pandemic, but through the sharing from the local pastors, the gospel continues to spread and many have come under your name. We praise you and pray that you will continue to do the wonderful work among the villages and let more villagers know your salvation and worship you as the only true God. God, we also pray for peace and unity over the political situation in Myanmar.
God, we pray for the local churches in the Golden Triangle Region. As they bear your witnesses to this wounded world, we pray that the Holy Spirit will lead your servants to bring the Good News of salvation and the blessings of healing to the community. God, even if our days are full of uncertainties, we still have hope in you. We pray that your healing will come upon the sick, your comfort comes upon the wounded people, your provision will be with those who are in need.
God, we give thanks to you, for you allow your ministries to continue even under various constraints. Your unceasing love never fails.
We thank you for those in Canada who continue to embrace a broken world in word and deed through their prayers and generous giving. I ask for continued protection and provision for all of CBM’s work in the world – for the Field Staff and local partners.
There is no social distancing between you and your people. May your people stand firm in your presence and keep looking forward to face every circumstance. We trust in Jesus Christ who endured the cross so that we can look forward to joy in you.
In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen!

As a family, we count on you in this season of our lives as we carry out our responsibilities. We need your strength, power, and joy in our lives. Wrap your arms around our kids, and help them to grow in your Word and in character.
We pray all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
