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 merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
Day 19: August 7
The merciful freely seek and receive God's mercy, and then pour it out on others.
Father, as You draw Secret Believer to Your Word during Ramadan. May they prayerfully seek opportunities to demonstrate Your mercy, especially for those living in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Father, may they extend Spirit-filled compassion to their neighbors who will see Christ in them.
