Like an olive tree that endures through harsh seasons, pray for believers across the MENA region to grow deep roots in Christ, remain steadfast in faith, and bear lasting fruit for God's kingdom.

This prayer was put together by workers living in the MENA region. Join us as we pray!

Sovereign Lord.

Heavenly Father, we just want to come before you.

Thank you for who you are. Thank you for being a God who loved us enough that you came down to earth and you walked among us. You saw all the pain and you had so much compassion on those around you who were like sheep without a shepherd.

God, I pray for my friends. My friends who you knew and loved long before I got to.

Thank you for those already coming to faith. Protect and empower your church, especially where it seems so fragile.

God, these are your children. You know each of these people.

And I pray for you to just continue to do what only you can do in their hearts.

Lord, we thank you for the faithful workers who have gone there, Lord Jesus. We thank you for their years of service, their dedication and their prayer.

I also pray for the church that you would bring strength and unity and boldness and endurance.

We pray that the believers there would be united and loved.

Give perseverance through seasons of apparent dryness.

Draw more people to this region and that through all of the believers in this region, more would come to know you and the miracle of what it is to be saved by you and to walk with you, Lord.

And may your glory once again shine in and from these lands.

And we pray all these things in your name, Jesus.

Amen.
