The Arab Spring: two years and counting... For Tuesday July 9, Ramadan 2013 - Day 01. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer" The reality of the Arab Spring is that though societies united in their desire to overthrow corrupt governments, their people were carrying some very different dreams for their future. One group saw freedom and democracy as the answer; another saw greater commitment to Sharia law and strict Islam as the answer. Increasingly, these differing agendas are conflicting in the homes and on the streets of the Arab world. Yet in the midst of this turmoil, another set of stories is being written. Many in the Christian community have found new passion and commitment to see God’s kingdom come in their nations. In November 2012, 70,000 Christians from all denominations gathered in Cairo to pray for their nation. Others are finding increasing boldness as they lovingly reach out to their Muslim neighbours in new ways during these uncertain times. Prayer Starters: •Pray for citizens and political leaders in the Arab world. May their eyes be opened to discern truth, and to pursue it courageously. •Pray that believers in Christ will be islands of true peace in the midst of this tumultuous season (Psalm 46). •Pray that both new and old believers would boldly witness to the “hope that is within them” so that many can come to faith in Jesus (1 Peter 3:15). •Pray that believers in the Arab world would have safety and courage, and for the right to freedom of religion.
