8 Ways to Pray with Us This Ramadan
1. Praise God for sending Jesus as a substitute on our behalf. We could never do enough good works to earn His love and salvation. Thank Him that Jesus’ death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins and now we have peace with God. (Romans 6:23; 1 Peter 1:18-19, Colossians 1:20-21)
2. Pray that God would open Muslims’ eyes all over the world to realize their greatest problem is not disbelief or forgetfulness but a broken relationship with God and their greatest need is a Savior to reconcile them to God.
3. Pray that during these days of fasting, God would reveal that their good deeds will never be enough to secure their eternity. Pray that God would overwhelmingly show them that Jesus is the only sufficient payment for peace with God.
4. Pray that God would use dreams, visions, Youtube videos, books, friends, and coworkers to share the good news of Jesus with Muslims all over the world this Ramadan.
5. Pray that God would reveal Himself as a loving Father, not a distant master, this Ramadan. Pray that Muslims would see God’s heart for them to be His children. (Romans 8).
6. Pray for Muslims in our European city to come to know Jesus as the only way to know God. (John 14:6). Pray for our team to have divine opportunities to share this story with our Muslim friends and neighbors. Pray that God would be moving in hearts and we would be faithful and available in this time.
7. Pray for workers all around the world to have divine opportunities to share the story of Jesus with their Muslim friends and neighbors during Ramadan.
8. Pray for Muslims living in your city to come to know Jesus as the only source of salvation. Pray for God to show you ways to love your Muslim neighbors during these next 30 days.
What is Ramadan?
“Once per year, for a period of thirty days, Muslims disrupt their daily rhythms by fasting from sunrise to sunset during a month called Ramadan. This fast consists of abstaining from food, drink, tobacco, and sexual relations for thirty days each year. Families will wake and gather before the sunrise to feast for the day. Then, each night, families, neighborhoods, and communities gather together to celebrate the breaking of the fast (iftar) at sunset. In the places I have lived, the atmosphere during the iftar is festive, welcoming, and hospitable for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.” – 40 Questions About Islam by Matthew Bennett
