"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing."
Teach us, Lord, to remain in you each and every day. We pray for the people of Istanbul to open their eyes and realize what they are missing. Show them that You can truly change their lives if they abide in you and you alone. Peel off the layers of religion that blind Turks from seeing the truth of Jesus and his transformative powers. You promise that if we obey your commands then we will bear much fruit – let this be true in Turkey today. Bless this land with multiplicative fruit, generations deeply seeking you and your kingdom first! We need your Lord; the peoples of Turkey need you!
