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 they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

Day 8: July 27

The promise to those who mourn is that they will be comforted.

Father, we lift up Christians in Somalia and Ethiopia who are suffering for their faith in You.  As they walk in humility before You, relinquishing to You their safety and even their own lives, comfort them.  Be a constant presence and give them a profound peace that can only come from You.
