60 Second Prayers for Muslims during Ramadan

Day 30 - The Last Day

Transcript: Day 30:  The Hadith teaches if a believer voluntarily fasts all of Ramadan and the 6 days after Eid, all fasting requirements for the year are fulfilled. Those who did not faithfully keep the entire fast or were not able to because of religious restrictions during Ramadan,  must continue fasting until they meet all the required days. For those who have kept the entire fast, this final day signals a long day of preparation and shopping for the beginning of Eid. All feel the weariness and anticipation of the end of Ramadan. Let’s pray for Muslims as they leave a season of fasting together, that the desire for freedom in Christ would increase and that He meets them.  Father God, we want to enter this last day of prayer with hearts that are open and soft to you. We love you and as we have prayed for Muslims this past month, we have seen the beauty of the gospel as it has contrasted to the legalism and weight of Islam. We thank you that You are found by all who call on you and that your Spirit is moving in the Muslim world. We pray for those today who are finishing up the Ramadan fast, and for those who will continue, to find You Jesus. In their weariness and pride in finishing such a challenging time, we pray for You to be the one who gives them strength and let the end of this time leave an ache oh Christ that can only be fulfilled in knowing You. We pray that our Muslim friends would hear your invitation to “ Come to You, as they are those who labor and are  heavy laden, for You alone  will give them rest. Let Muslims take Your  yoke  and  learn from You Jesus,  for You are gentle and lowly in heart, and they will find rest for their souls. We pray this all in the Name of Jesus. Amen.  We invite you to meditate on the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 today. If you know a Muslim,  ask them with the intent to listen: How did Ramadan go for you this year?

Day 29 - Endings and Beginnings

On day 29 we pray for open hearts that will make room for the joy of the Gospel and the life that can be had by faith in Jesus Christ.

Day 28 - More Divine Encounters

Day 28. It is now the final stretch of Ramadan. Sons and daughters will return home from university, preparations are being made and many Muslims will continue to observe the Laylat al-Qadr with more prayers and lessons until Eid, continuing to try to change their eternal destiny. Pray that Muslims meet Christians by whom they encounter the reality of “Christ in you the hope of glory.”  Lord God, we think about Revelation 3 where we learn that each of us has been given a name that no one else knows but you. And in this find great hope and assurance, not just of our eternal destiny but of our current reality - Loved, Accepted, Chosen and Adopted by you. We pray today for  Muslims and ask specifically that they would encounter a believer whose hope in you and the peace of the assurance of salvation radiates from them like a beacon. Jesus, initiate such divine encounters that through these relationships and chance meetings you would grow your church in the Muslim world. Bring hope to the hopeless and the efficacy of the cross to unreached peoples of Islam.

Day 27 - The Night of Power

Day 27 is often believed to be the most holy and significant night of Ramadan. On this day we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Transcript: The 27th Night for the majority of Muslims is considered the most sacred night of Ramadan, and one of the holiest of the Islamic calendar. On this night, Laylat al Qadr, or the Night of Power [https://www.zwemercenter.com/the-night-of-power-during-ramadan/], It is believed angels are given annual decrees over what will happen in the year and is also the night the prophet Muhammed received the revelation of the Quran. Prayers on this night count as many as 1,000 months of prayer. Even those who are nominal Muslims will often pray through the night on Laylat Al Qadr so the sins of the previous year can be washed away. Let’s pray the Holy Spirit works powerfully in the lives of Muslims as they pray  tonight.  Father God, we cry out on behalf of Muslims tonight as they gather to pray for forgiveness of sins and to earn the favor of Allah. Jesus, You hear every prayer and see the desire of every heart so and we ask that tonight you would come to Muslims who are hungry for righteousness and truth. We ask that by your Spirit you would reveal yourself tonight to many in dreams and visions. We ask for open hearts and eyes to see you and receive you as you come, Jesus. We pray that this night of power would be a night of your power dis[played through healings and direct answers to their prayers. We pray for the hearts of many to be opened to their need for you and for an awakening to the life that you give. We pray this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.  Consider meditating on Hebrews 4:12. If you know a Muslm, ask them how they observe Laylat al-Qadr?

Day 26 - Awaken Church

On Day 27 we pray for the church to awaken to its role in the Missio Dei in the Muslim World
