Lord, today we pray for Turkey, where the persecution
of Christians—particularly those converted from Muslim backgrounds—is increasing
rapidly. Lord, we pray for the Turkish people to realize that national pride
does not need to be tied to Islam and that Christian citizens contribute great
value to the nation. We pray against Islamic extremism, and that it would be
recognized for what it is: a path to terrorism. Heavenly Father, we thank you
for the victory in Bursa, where the only church
in the city, French Church Cultural Center, was allowed to remain open
after being initially told to vacate in a matter of days. We pray that
believers would be allowed to freely worship here, and that other churches
would ultimately open in Bursa and throughout Turkey. Lord, we pray for
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan today, that he would have wisdom in how to
maintain religious freedom in his nation so that Turkey can thrive. We also
pray for your children throughout this land, that they would find courage,
grace and hope in you each day. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
