Sovereign Lord, pour Your healing into the lives of those horribly affected by recent political developments. Push away the forces of darkness, protect Your children from harm, and strengthen them. Intervene in the lives of persecutors, drawing them to You. Be sovereign over the elections, putting in power individuals who pursue a safe and flourishing Bangladesh for all people. Bring peace and stability, we pray, and dispel the hostility that so many believers face. Amen.
