Islam teaches that women cannot fast or pray when they are menstruating. We thank God that this is not a reality for us in Christ. Pray for women in Nashville today who cannot fast because they are menstruating and will have to make up this day of fasting later in the year by themselves. Pray for their hearts to be softened to a God who welcomes them into His presence any day of the year because of Christ’s blood on the cross.
Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie
Our bodies belong to God. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to live in the reality that their blood price has been paid in Christ and to honor God with their bodies.
“And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus” (Acts 5:41).
Ask for believers in Nashville to saturate the country with the truth that Jesus is the Christ.
Ask for grace to share every day and to ceaselessly preach the truth.
Pray that Christians in Nashville will search out unreached peoples around them which have not yet been touched by the Gospel. Pray for God to send harvesters to these other groups.
Father, we want to be a people that steward our calling as image-bearers of God. Therefore, help us, like you, to be keen on the regeneration of communities. Where things have fallen apart, where the center has not held, where the chaos of the day has reigned: let us think alternative to the status quo, offering novel solutions to wicked, complex problems.
Lord, may your church in Nashville bless the communities they invest in. May they incarnate and demonstrate the love of God among their friends and communities. And as believers bless the neighborhoods, meeting their felt needs, would you allow persons of peace to emerge who want to join with them and ultimately You, in your mission–on earth as it is in Heaven. Lord, may they be the laborers and the workers for the new fields where You’re working!
Amen.
PRAISE
“I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nations [including Nashville] will praise you forever and ever.” (Psalm 45:17)
KINGDOM COME
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) May the Nashville church joyfully demonstrate the blessing that comes from being poor in spirit. Pray for them to experience fuller measures of the Kingdom through their poverty of spirit.
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” (Acts 4:30-31) Do it in Nashville, Lord!
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“…Now before he [Enoch] was taken he was commended as having pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5b) May believers in Nashville, through faith, seek commendation from you more than man. May they live their lives in pursuit of your approval alone.
PRAYER
God, we pray both the men and women of Nashville will find ways to meet in groups of two or three to encourage and correct one another. https://zume.training/accountability-groups/
