The Muslim countries of Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Sudan and Pakistan are almost entirely unreached with the gospel of Christ. Pray for Christians to shine His light in the darkness.
Lord, please awaken every heart in each of these countries and situations to Your love. So much hunger, violence, death and instability point to humanity’s desperate need for You. Please rescue those in danger, heal those who are wounded, comfort those who grieve, and speak to the hearts of those who are afraid or hurting. Touch each person in such intimate ways they will at last realize You are the One they have longed for all their lives. When they cry out to You, answer them, O God, in a way they will recognize it is You. Grip the violent with remorse. Visit them in dreams and visions pointing the way to salvation. Draw them into Christian groups on the internet, and offer them salvation. Give them courage to lay down their agendas in repentance, and fear You alone, O God. Give the lost a hunger for peace, meaning, acceptance and love; and then satisfy them with Your felt presence. Bring Christians to them to show them Your love, care for their needs and share the good news of Your salvation. Bless Your people abundantly so they will also abundantly share with those in need around them. Bring Christian counselors, medical workers and other aid workers to those in need. And set the captives free, Lord. Lift the veil from the eyes of the lost so they will see You as You truly are and surrender their hearts to You as Savior. In the midst of every trial and tragedy, push back the enemy’s purposes, and bring forth Yours. Convince us of Your truth. Let us feel Your love like never before. And bring forth Your Kingdom in every heart, home, city and nation. Yes, Lord, awaken the whole Earth to Your salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
