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 pure of heart, for they shall see God."

Day 21: August 9

The pure in heart know that their hearts are naturally impure and are in need of Christ's cleansing.

Father, our hearts grieve for brothers and sisters in Somalia and Mauritania where evil is all around them.  Remind them daily during Ramadan of their own need for cleansing that they will begin each day with pure hearts, showing others Your Spirit that glows inside of them.
