Pray for the Nations

Today is pray for the world's people who are in darkness day. . .(Day 19 in 31 days of Prayer by Ruth Meyers).

It was so enjoyable and so inspiring, I thought I'd share some of it, that you too, may join me in praying for those who are still prisoners in darkness.

"Thank you that my prayers can help fulfill Your longings to include in Your family people from every tribe and language and people and nation. What a family to belong to! And what an honor to help in this tremendous task through prayer!

Yet how terrible is the destiny of those who ignore Your salvation! Stir in my heart, Lord-and the hearts of countless others-to pray more for those who have heard of You but have not yet responded. And for the millions who are still without the gospel.

Lord, You are the Master of breakthroughs. Bring mighty breakthroughs of the gospel throughout the world. Penetrate Satan's lines of defense. Do this especially among Muslims, among Buddhists, among Hindus, among Jews, as well as among atheists-these great strongholds that the gospel has barely dented. Break through, Lord, to their leaders and to their people. May the reality of Christ and His saving love dawn in their hearts like a brilliant sunrise. And may Your Spirit work with usual power through those who are ministering among them.

You have promised that the ends of the earth will be Your Son's possession. I ask You to accomplish this soon."
