Many Muslims when faced with difficult questions about their religion fall back on the claim that God is unknowable. In Christianity, though we cannot fathom the fullness of who God is, we do believe that God revealed Himself to us in Christ and wants to be known by us. Today we pray for Muslims in Nashville to encounter God by knowing Christ.
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
Let us revel in Christ’s victory, unity in Christ’s love, and the cross. “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing” (2 Corinthians 2:14-15).
Pray for new Christ followers in Nashville to renounce inferiority and glory in Christ’s triumph over death through the cross.
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).
Ask that in Christ there would be no division between the sects of Nashville.
Pray for a release of the spirit of unity over against the spirit of violence and division.
Pray for a release of the spirit of love over and against the spirits of death and destruction.
Pray for Christians in Nashville to grow daily in the Word.
Father, hear our cries. We intercede on behalf of this nation, that you would move and change its trajectory. We see, Lord, how violence and division have wreaked havoc. We acknowledge that the sins of generations have destroyed the land and undermined the peace. But we also declare your steadfast love, your faithfulness and kindness. And we call out to you now and ask for your intervening love.
Step in, O God, and do miracles. Change what cannot be changed. Break what cannot be broken. Shut what cannot be shut.
And in Your mercy open what is locked. Unbind what is bound, and loose what is contained. Release peace. Spread love. And may a mighty river of reconciliation flood this land, bringing men and women and youth together in unity–baptized into the unity of Messiah–under whom all can be healed, all can be saved, all can be delivered, and by whom every wound can be mended.
Amen
PRAISE
“God reigns over the [Nashville] nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47:8)
KINGDOM COME
“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20)
Many think that Christians have an easier ‘religion’ because of misunderstanding the Gospel of grace through Christ Jesus. We pray for every believer in Nashville to walk in holiness and shine their light and for many to be drawn to Jesus through the authentic witness of Christ in His disciples.
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.” (Acts 6:7) Through prayer, ministry of the Word, service, care for the widows, and faith multiply the number of disciples in Nashville, Lord.
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household…” (Hebrews 11:7a) Father, we pray for many heads of household who, like Noah, would take outrageous risks for the sake of saving their families.
