- Lord, we lift up the people of Tajikistan. Lord, You know their history of hardship and resilience through centuries of invasions and change. We pray for peace and stability in their land and for provision for farmers and shepherds who depend on the earth for their livelihood. Bless their communities with hope and opportunity, and let Your light shine in the valleys and cities alike. We ask that hearts be opened to Your truth and that those who follow Jesus would be strengthened and encouraged. May Your Word take root in this land, and may entire families come to know Your love and grace.
