Pray through the Headlines: India, Bangladesh, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia

BANGLADESH and northeast INDIA: At least 11 have died in India’s Tripura state, and two in Bangladesh, due to heavy flooding which has submerged hundreds of homes, affecting nearly 3 million people. More than 64,000 have been displaced in Tripura. More heavy rains are expected in the coming days.

INDIA: An explosion in a pharmaceutical plant injured dozens and killed at least 18 workers in Andhra Pradesh state last Wednesday.

GAZA: Evacuation orders were given by ISRAEL last week for Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis and Al-Maghazi refugee camp, causing thousands to flee yet again. Perhaps 1.9 million of Gaza’s population of 2.1 million are now displaced. More than 40,000 have died in Gaza since the war began October 7.

UKRAINE-RUSSIA: As Ukraine continues pressing into Russia’s Kursk region, blowing up bridges and taking over towns, families in the key eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk have been ordered to evacuate as Russian forces approach.

Lord, in each of these instances above, many are grieving and others are in need of rescue, healing, shelter and provisions. So many deaths and dangers remind us of humanity’s desperate need for You. Please meet those who are afraid or hurting, touching them and speaking to their hearts in such personal ways they will know You are the One they’ve been looking for. When they cry out to You, answer them, O Lord, and show them the way to salvation. Give them a hunger for You and then satisfy them with Your felt presence. Bring Christians to them to show them Your love and share the Good News. Bless Your people abundantly so they will also abundantly share with those in need around them. Bring Christian counselors, medical workers and other aid workers to those in need. And set the captives free, Lord. Awaken every heart to Your love like only You can.
