Nashville

Again in the Muslim prayer guide. Today is talking about Muslims right here at home. For me, Nashville is actually very close to home - 5 or 6 hours maybe. Of course, the guide mentions other cities with large Muslim populations in the South. Atlanta's on the list. So with Muslims all around us, how can we continue to ignore the growing need for our pray and our love. It is important that we not only pray for those Christians in direct contact with Muslims, but also that we act like Christ when we are in direct contact with Muslims. That we don't just sit back saying, "Oh I'll pray for the situation", but that we actually go if God tells us to. As much as prayer can change the world, responding to God's calling in Faith can start a revolution.

Lord, I pray for those on the front lines for You in this country. I pray that You give the Christians the courage to put themselves out there to bridge a cultural divide. I pray You would give them understanding of the unique difficulties of immigrants and refugees entering our country, and that You would give them more than enough love to overcome any misunderstandings. I pray for love for these people that just won't stop. I pray You would call people to love on these people and give us Christians the strength and courage to respond to Your call. To go where You send us. I pray that Nashville would be overrun by Christianity because of all the Muslims coming to know You. I pray You would increase their curiosity and desire to know more about Jesus and more about You, Father. I pray that as Your fire catches in Nashville, it would also catch in Atlanta, Memphis and Louisville. I pray You would raise up Christians to love the Muslims coming into our communities. To fight against the hatred that seems so prevalent towards people of this faith. I pray for courage to go against the so-called evangelic mainstream to really seek after Your will and Your heart. By Your power and Your grace I pray You would change lives!


Amen. Amen. Amen.


Lord, grant me grace today. I am not strong enough to face all that comes my way, but in those moments there is nothing but Your grace. Fill me with Your Spirit. Give me just enough strength to live for today and take away all worries about tomorrow.


Amen. Amen. Amen.
