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 18: August 6

The merciful understand acutely their own need of God's mercy.

Lord, we each come to You with nothing to offer, in complete need of Your mercy.  We call on You to pour out Your mercy and compassion on Christians in Oman and Kuwait.  During this month of Ramadan may they have opportunities to extend that compassion to their Muslim neighbors.
