Prayer starter

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:4-10

Father, I come to you boldly for the people of Patna, India. May they know Your great love for them. That even while they are dead in their sins, You, who are rich in mercy, make them alive with Christ. It is by grace, not their own works they are saved, so I pray that they come to know the riches of your grace through Jesus. Your grace is a gift that no one can earn, no one can boast about it. God, they are your workmanship, created for a purpose, for such a time as this!
