Lord, today our
thoughts and prayers turn toward Saudi Arabia, the only nation in the world
without any church buildings. Lord, we know the pressure to follow Islam in this
nation is overwhelming. We pray for those who are considering following you to
be strong, despite the fierce pressure from family and society to NOT pursue
Christ. May your love and truth compel them; woo them! Lord, we pray for those
who are already following you in this land. Please protect and comfort them as
they live under the shadow of persecution every day. We particularly pray for
the low-income migrant workers who deal with the worst of the persecution, due
to their status. Strengthen their souls. Give them a vision for heaven, where
their true citizenship lies. Finally, we rejoice, Lord, that Christianity is
growing in this nation, despite the persecution. May your disciples be bold
when they are to be bold and quiet when it is best they remain silent. May they
walk very closely with you so they can clearly hear your Spirit's guidance
moment by moment, day by day. In Jesus' life-giving name we pray, amen.
