Morning by Morning, August 18 - Praying for Afghanistan
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name is above every name. And I begin my day speaking out Your name above everything that I am and everything I’ll face as I go through this day with You in my heart (Philippians 2:9). ...
On my heart this morning are those in Afghanistan -- my son and the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne at the airport in Kabal, those who have converted to Christ and may be called to account for their decision of faith, those who’ve been called to proclaim the love and truth of the Gospel in that land no matter the cost, those who live in that nation but fear what may happen under the kind of law being imposed and the kind of leadership taking control.
Lord, be with them. Lord, empower them to stand firm in their faith, with their eyes on You, no matter what they go through. Let them hear the Word of the Lord in their hearts to give them courage:
“Do not fear, for I am with you,
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My victorious right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).
And for every soul -- no matter whose side they’re on, no matter whose army they fight for, no matter what circumstance they find themselves in, and no matter the state of their relationship with You -- may Your Holy Spirit move in every heart to turn every heart to You. For You are “not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). “This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
Lord, we even pray that out of all the chaos there will be many conversions and out of this situation there will be many salvations. We join with the prayers of all the hidden saints in that land, that You would arise and even release a revival that brings in a great harvest in the face of any persecution, as faith and love overcome fear. For Your “perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18). And fear must flee from every heart that’s filled with faith and trust in God (2 Timothy 1:7; James 4:7).
We decree this truth from Your Word over all of them: You are with them. You will strengthen them and help them. You will uphold them with Your victorious right hand. They will not fear or be dismayed. They will look and see what God has done. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
