April 22 Prayer

Regions/UUPGs: Thank You, Lord, for the woman in Mahdia who said, “I’ve read the Injil (New Testament) and I like it. I want to read more in order to understand it.” May she engage other friends and family with her as she is drawn to You.

Petition from a Tunisian Believer: My wife and I are Tunisian believers. My father died this year with the coronavirus. I fear for my elderly mother. Though my father refused to accept Christ, I pray that God will soften my mother’s heart.

Pray Hebrews 11 for Tunisia: “These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.” (Hebrews 11:14) May Tunisian believers’ honorable and pure conduct make it clear to those watching them that they are strangers and exiles on the earth for Your glory.

Petition Against Spiritual Barriers: A Christian recounts a time when she was young and her father wanted to build a third floor on their building. The neighbors complained, yet he got permission to build. The neighbors were furious. Later, her family found a package in the yard, thrown over by the neighbors. There was a safety pin with 7 papers folded up and attached. Each one was a specific curse for her family: sickness, accident,…Her mother burned all of these papers, fearing that her daughters would face wrath. Eventually all seven curses happened to her family.

Praise the One True God: The LORD alone is Ruler. You govern the heavens, the earth, and all the nations. (Isaiah 40:22-24) “It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he blows on them, and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble.”
