Christian Woman Kept at Home by Relatives Opposed to Christianity

[179] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Sita.

Sita is a 65-year-old woman and the only believer in her family. She was an active member of the church, but three years ago, her son married a woman who is aggressively opposed to Christianity. The daughter-in-law turned the family against Sita. Since that time, the family has barred her from attending church. Sometimes she is able to slip out to a women’s fellowship group. Front-line workers have given her an audio Bible so that she can listen to God’s Word when she is alone at home.

  • We ask You to fill Sita with love for her adversary. She is Sita's Your adversary because she is Yours. Yet You love her and want her to come to You. So we ask You to pour out Your grace for Sita. May she view this opposition as coming from Your enemy. Where Sita experiences anger, animosity, and criticism , may she respond with gentleness and love.

  • Lord, we thank you because you said, "Fear not, I will help thee'. Lord, we ask that you help Sita, to shine the Light. Let her bring forth fruits. Change her family. Let them fear you. You will not force anybody, if you have wanted her family dead, you will have done so, but you died for them. Let not your death be in vain over them. In Jesus Name.

  • Lord,
    Thank You for Sita and her willingness to follow You despite the opposition from her own family. It is incredible to me that a daughter-in-law would seek to hurt her mother-in-law in this fashion. Please soften her heart and the hearts of their family toward Jesus. Please provide Sita with all of her needs and enable her to fellowship.
