Good morning, Lord

Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

Good morning, Lord, what a glorious day that will be, when all things are renewed, when all are judged, we pray you would help us be ready for that day, to live lives that stand apart, to be different because you have called us to be. Please help us share this wonderful news and the promises of your return.

We pray for the unreached people of the day, the Rajput of India, the name comes from rajputra which means “son of a ruler.” These 43,558,000 souls are a high caste people, which make it difficult for them to humble themselves enough to accept God’s free gift. Lord, we pray for the Rajput, please help them know how readily they can truly be sons and daughters of the King of kings and Lord of lords, we pray their caste system would fail them and leave them humbled and ready to hear your good news.

Lord, we pray for the persecuted church in Maldives, (“a string of 1,190 islands in the Indian Ocean. Maldivians enjoy many democratic freedoms, with the exception of religion. Islam is the only recognized religion and is strongly promoted. Neither the press nor non-Muslims are allowed freedom of speech. Outsiders are allowed only brief visits to the Maldives, in order to keep their influence on Muslim communities minimal; however, the new president has said he plans to expand tourism to other inhabited islands. Ethnicity is linked to religion — Maldivians must be Muslim. A new translation of the Quran into the local language is almost ready. A former president promised that every household in the country would get a copy.” Lord, we pray for the inhabitants of this island nation to somehow hear the truth and to know they can be set free. We pray the efforts to get the Quran into every home will only serve to propel the Gospel in this nation.

We pray for Campus Christian Fellowship Tahlequah, please help this ministry continue to grow and thrive and become all you need it to be to touch lives in Tahlequah, we pray for committed students to lead this organization, we pray for many, many lives to be changed on campus because you have moved in mighty ways through this ministry.
