In Islam, it is a sin to doubt. It leaves many Muslims with fear of eternal damnation if they question anything they have been taught about religion. Pray today for Muslims US & Turkiye to seek the true God who is big enough for our questions and doubts.
Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie
Our inheritance is not intimidation: it is in God. “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Pray for Christ followers US & Turkiye to renounce intimidation from the Muslim society around them and to put trust in God.
“Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age’” (Matt 28:18-20).
Believers must engage lostness on a daily basis, sharing boldly and broadly everything they’re learning from God. Ask that workers would make disciples and not just converts. Intercede for emerging church communities to start new groups. Pray for new communities of faith to quickly be baptized.
Pray that Christians around the country will have one unified vision of reaching their country.
O Father! We ask that you would build your church US & Turkiye and continue to catalyze the spread of a disciple making movement that transforms this nation: disciples making disciples, leaders raising leaders, groups starting groups, and churches planting churches. Lord, as your people learn to love God, serve the lost, care for each other, follow through on their commitments, and strategize effectively, would your grace guide in all things and your love sustain through all seasons.
Amen
