Praying Scripture
“For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great [in Bosnia], and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great [in Bosnia], says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 1:11).
Lord, may this passage come to pass in our lifetime. May your name be great in Bosnia, and may your name be worshiped and adored from the rising of the sun to its setting. Lord God Almighty, wherever incense is burned, wherever prayers are offered or beads are counted or rugs are laid out: in every mosque, in every church, in every gathering space for prayer – Lord, there, would your name be lifted high. Let Bosnia offer you a pure offering of adoration and praise.
Praying for the Church
Lift up the church, as this month of Ramadan ends and we pray many Muslims have questions about Jesus, that with open hearts they will welcome them to discuss, learn, and hopefully follow our savior.
Praying with the 5 Senses
This month, we want to encourage you to pray in new or unique ways as we lift the Bosniak people. Each day, we will be highlighting a way you can engage one of the “5 senses” to specifically pray for Bosnia.
TOUCH
As we wrap up this month of prayer, we invite you to celebrate by clapping and lifting your hands in prayer and praise! God has heard the prayers of His people and we know the spiritual realms have shifted during this season of battle. God is faithful!
Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations
Lord, we lift our voice together one last time. Thank you for these days of prayer for our brothers and sisters in Bosnia. Today we remember our brothers and sisters across the whole Muslim world, and we declare: The Good News that Christ, and not Caesar, reigns as Lord and Ruler of the Cosmos.
Let this truth be heard in Mecca, the announcement that God’s Anointed, Jesus, rules as King. Let it be shared in Baghdad and Cairo, that Christ has thrown down death and conquered the grave of exile. From Libya and Tunisia to Somalia and Sudan, from the islands of Indonesia to the mountains of Pakistan, from India to Iran, from the Gulf countries to the Levant to Turkey and to the Balkans, through all the war-torn towns, cities, and villages of Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria; let the good news of the saving grace of Jesus, our Lord, be preached… spread…and incarnated into the world by followers of Jesus.
Let men and women, children, and whole families be baptized into the community of saints and be filled with the presence and power of God’s indwelling Holy Spirit. And then the end will come. And finally, Lord, the Lamb of God shall receive the full reward of His suffering…in and for the Muslim world…to the great glory and praise of You, our God and Father. At long last, let Your children come running home.
