Palak had been living with ongoing tension and strain in her relationship with her husband's family. Caught between her responsibilities to her own mother and brother and the expectations of her in-laws, she felt completely trapped—strict caste expectations meant that speaking up could mean being shunned.
The only thing a global worker in Eurasia could do was pray with her. The very next day, Palak's uncle offered to stand in her father's place and speak to the family and the Caste Leaders on her behalf. Palak was certain nothing would change.
But God had already gone ahead of her.
The meeting took place, and hearts that had been hard were softened. The Caste Leaders listened and believed her. Her husband and in-laws wept as they realized how they had treated her, and asked for forgiveness.
Through tears, Palak asked, "How does God do this? He must love me. How do I love Him back for what He has done?"
Where Palak once feared she would have to leave her marriage, God is restoring her home. Continue to pray for her as she learns more about Jesus—the God who sees her, hears her, and cares for her every need.
