Flash floods in Iran’s drought-stricken Fars Province killed at least 22 Saturday. About 55 were rescued, but some may still be missing.
Iran is ninth on the World Watch List of most dangerous countries in the world for Christians. House churches are often raided and members sentenced to long jail terms for “crimes against national security.” Muslim leaders see Christians’ ability to communicate with Jesus as a contradiction to Islamic teaching that He was merely a prophet. Those who teach the Bible or share their faith can be accused of “insults … with the intent to cause violence or tensions.”
Lord, please wrap Your arms around Iranians who are mourning loss and death, and let them feel Your comforting presence and know it is You. Meet them in dreams and visions with Your arms open wide inviting them to salvation. Lift the veil from their eyes so they will see You as You truly are. Give them a hunger so deep for Love and Truth that they search for You with all their hearts and find You. Guide them to Christians, Bibles, websites, social media or other sources where they can find the answers to their questions about You. And awaken every heart in Iran to Your love. Tear down walls of religion, tradition, fear, prejudice and persecution, and bring forth Your kingdom in every village, town, city, home and heart.
Be a Shield around Christians and their families, and keep them from harm. Whenever someone raises a weapon against them, cause arms to freeze, weapons to misfire, tongues to mute, and angels to visibly and gloriously appear as guardians for the Christians. Strike persecutors with such fear of the Lord, they will drop their evil agendas and inquire about the Lord instead. Anoint believers to speak the truth in love, even when facing great danger. Move their hearts with forgiveness toward those who rage against them. May their faith, hope, love and purity shine so brightly everyone around them will be struck with awe and place their faith in You. Abundantly supply Christians’ needs so they can help their neighbors and show them Your love. Hide house churches from those who seek to do harm, but open the doors to those who long for You and want to be saved. Multiply Your church by the tens of thousands this year, Lord. May Your Kingdom come to every heart in Iran.
