During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast water and food from sunrise to sunset. After breaking the fast, the men go to the mosque to pray and people are generally more open to spiritual things. Pray for those who are seeking that they will find, that God would reveal Himself both miraculously in dreams and visions as well as through his people. Pray that this month of seeking after God would lead to finding who He truly is.
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 Karachi 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.
