July 20th - August 18th is Ramadan, the holiest time for a Muslim. Would you pray during these days for fellow Christians living in Islamic-dominated countries, for strength when they are harassed, for comfort when they are fearful, but most importantly that they may be emboldened to share the Gospel when possible?

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."

Day 28: August 16

Peacemakers are an enemy of Satan.

Lord, we know that many Christians suffer persecution because they stand as reminders to Satan, and those under his power, that Christ is in them to stay.  Even as they suffer injustice, like Asia Bibi in Pakistan, bring to mind that You stand with them and they they share in the suffering You suffered on their behalf.
