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 24: August 12

Through their faith in Christ, the pure in heart sees God in all circumstances.

Father, today we ask You to increase the faith in persecuted Christians in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, especially during this month of Ramadan.  As they see Your clear presence in all their circumstances, enable them to bear up under pain and hardship, assured of Your goodness and power in their lives.
