Good morning, Lord

Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Good morning, Lord, please help us be ready, please help us live our lives like you are returning at any moment, please help us carry your word to the ends of the earth so that all nations will hear of your love and your salvation through Jesus.

Lord, we pray for the persecuted church in Bangladesh (where “…Islam is the official religion of Bangladesh. Other religious minorities may worship openly but face social discrimination. The Vested and Nonresident Ordinance (formally called the Enemy Property Act) states that property can be confiscated if the owner is considered an “enemy” of the state. This ordinance is used to seize property from Christians and other religious minorities. The majority of discrimination against Christians comes from Muslims, who deny Christians access to public water wells, beat them, extort money from them and destroy rickshaws to eliminate their only source of income.”) We pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Bangladesh, please help them stand strong no matter what the enemy or their government tries to do to prevent them from sharing your love with the lost in their land. We pray for a revival in Bangladesh, we pray that many, many souls would be saved, that many would come to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you have sent.

We pray for the unreached people of the day, the Miana of India, we pray for believers who truly care for the welfare of the Miana to go into western India and dwell among this people group and share your love and truth with them. We thank you that your word is available in their language, we pray for funds to make copies available far and wide, we pray for literacy to increase among the Miana so more can read and share your word.

We pray for ARM, thank you for this organization, please help them continue for many years to share your love through portable baptisteries, Bible studies, and greeting card programs.
