Matthew 5:44-45
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Dear friend,
Pray for Egypt today. There are many brothers and sisters in Christ that need our prayers for protection and safety during this time of unrest.
Pray also for the leaders in Egypt that God would change their hearts and inspire them to bring freedom and peace to their nation.
Pray for Egypt's government, courts and police. Pray that they would implement laws that are fair and humane for all.
There have been Coptic Christians in Egypt for over a thousand years and it is by far one of the biggest groups of Christians anywhere in the Middle East. Pray that Coptic Christians today would be filled with the Holy Spirit and have a strong relationship with God.
Persecution of Christians is on the increase. They can face intimidation and police brutality and some of died at the hands of Islamic extremists. Pray for courage for Christians to stand firm in their faith.
Egyptian Christians could play a unique role in reaching other Muslim lands in the Middle East. Pray for vision and resources that would equip people for this strategic challenge.
Millions of Southern Sudanese have fled to Egypt from the long civil war in Sudan. Many are struggling to survive and find their way in Egypt. Pray that God would meet all their spiritual, emotional and physical needs.
Lastly pray for the Muslims in Egypt. That they would see God at work and come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior!
The Church in Egypt has survived for nearly 2,000 years, despite times of discrimination and severe persecution! Praise God for his faithfulness in Egypt.
In Christ,
-Robert
