30 Days of Prayer During Ramadan

Today is the first day of Ramadan, which is the Islamic month of fasting, in which Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. (Wikipedia)

Here is day one of the prayer guide:

Today and tomorrow we ask you to worship the Lord. Draw near to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from us. Then pray for the following subjects for yourself and Muslims in your town, region or country:

Where there is pride---humility:

Pray: “Lord, root out any pride within me concerning my attitudes concerning Muslims. Liberate Muslims in my area from religious pride. Bring us all to humility before you.” (Proverbs 8:13, 16:18, 29:23)

Where there is religiousness---relationship:

Pray: “Lord, help me not to be religious but to actually live and walk with you. Help any Muslims in my area to come to know you and not simply accomplish certain religious activities.” (John 17:3)

Where there is legalism---freedom:

"God is love" written in Arabic

Pray: “Lord, help me to walk in the freedom of your Spirit. Help me to be someone who brings real liberty of the Spirit to Muslims.” (Mt 7:3-5)

Where there is suspicion---trust:

Pray: “May we as believers be people who create trust so that Muslims may believe and turn to the Messiah.” (Acts 16:14)

“I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” (Isaiah 56:7)
