Hello, My name is Mert Ozat. I ...

[Parroth]

Hello, My name is Mert Ozat. I was born on 01.01.1993 in Osmaniye, Turkey. You may consider this message as either a request for help or a plea for prayers. If it doesn't bother you, I would like to briefly share who I am and why I am seeking help/prayers from you. I was born in a Muslim country, in a Muslim family. My childhood was marked by abuse and a series of sinful events. I longed for purification, redemption, and the ability to be true to myself. I sought God, and He showed me a path. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any person is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” After encountering God, my perspective on the world changed. I felt much stronger, empowered by God's strength to overcome anything. The city I lived in was filled with conservative Muslim people, and there was no Christian community. I prayed to God, and He introduced me to a family who came from Mexico to Turkey to serve God. They gave me my first Bible and taught me valuable insights to walk with God. I prayed to God to provide me with a church to join, and I got accepted into a university in Iskenderun. Iskenderun was a multicultural city with many churches, and I became part of a community called the Bible Church. I started serving God and the church with them. It was a small community of elderly people, and I accompanied them on the guitar during worship. Playing hymns and accompanying people in worship was a wonderful feeling. One day, during worship, the elderly community was overwhelmed by the spirit of God. We continued playing the hymn multiple times to witness their worship with the Holy Spirit. Our leader warned us, using the excuse of a church management meeting, and asked us to finish the hymn. I took my guitar and left the church that day, believing that serving God was more important than any administrative activities. Unfortunately, this decision negatively impacted my faith life. After distancing myself from the church, I lost myself in the darkness of the world. When my faithful brothers and sisters wanted me to return, it was too late to undo some things. I lost my faith and drifted away from God. Since that day, nothing has been as beautiful and easy as it used to be. After graduating from university, I returned to Osmaniye, a small city without a church. Throughout this process, I faced pressure and humiliation from my family, friends, and other people I knew. But I was aware of the challenges, just like Peter, James, and John. Living with Jesus without being separated from Him was my greatest desire. To summarize my story in broad strokes, today, living as a Christian in Turkey, especially in a small and conservative city, is quite challenging. I feel the pressure of this in my work life, social life, and every aspect of my life. I want to live a faithful life and be with people like me who believe in Jesus Christ. I want to feel the faith and strength as I did before, walking with God once again. I ask for your prayers or guidance on a path where I can serve God. God is love, and I greet you, dear fellow believers, with love. I hope for the day when we can raise our hands together to thank God. Best wishes.

Dear Heavenly Father,

In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Parroth, who has shared their story and their need for help and prayers. We thank you for the courage and vulnerability they have shown in sharing their journey with us.

Lord, we lift up Parroth to you, who was born in a Muslim country and faced abuse and sinful events in their childhood. We pray for healing and restoration from the wounds of their past. Your Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. We ask that you make Parroth a new creation in Christ, washing away the old and bringing forth newness of life.

Thank you, Lord, for guiding Parroth to encounter you and experience a change in perspective. We pray that you continue to strengthen them with your power to overcome any challenges they may face. We ask that you surround them with a supportive Christian community, where they can grow in their faith and find encouragement.

Father, we lift up the city of Iskenderun, where Parroth found a multicultural environment and a community called the Bible Church. We pray for the growth and unity of this church, that it may continue to be a place of worship and fellowship for believers. We ask that you provide Parroth with opportunities to serve you and use their gifts, just as they did with playing the guitar during worship. May they experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from serving you.

Lord, we acknowledge the struggle Parroth faced when they made the decision to distance themselves from the church. We pray for forgiveness and restoration in their faith life. Help them to find their way back to you, to seek your guidance and surrender their lives to your will. Surround them with your love and grace, reminding them that your mercy is always available.

We pray for a renewed passion and commitment to follow you, Lord. May Parroth's faith be strengthened, and may they find their purpose and identity in you. Guide them on the path of righteousness and lead them to a deeper relationship with you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let us pray for Mert Ozat, a faithful seeker of God's love and redemption. Heavenly Father, we come before you on behalf of Mert, who has faced numerous challenges and trials in their journey of faith. We thank you for guiding them to seek you and for the transformation they experienced through encountering your grace.

Lord, we pray that you would renew Mert's spirit and strengthen their faith. Help them to remember the truth found in 2 Corinthians 5:17, that in Christ they are a new creation and that old things have passed away. May they embrace this truth, letting go of past mistakes and embracing the new life you have given them.

We ask that you surround Mert with a supportive Christian community, a family of believers who will encourage and uplift them in their faith. Provide them with opportunities to connect with fellow believers who can walk alongside them on this journey. In Proverbs 27:17, it says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." May Mert find strength and encouragement through godly friendships and mentors.

Lord, we pray for courage and wisdom for Mert as they navigate the challenges of living as a Christian in a conservative environment. Grant them boldness to stand firm in their faith and to be a witness for you, even in the face of pressure and opposition. Remind them of the example of Peter, James, and John, who faced trials and persecution but remained steadfast in their love for you.

Father, guide Mert in their search for a church home where they can serve and worship you. Lead them to a community of believers where they can use their gifts and talents to bring glory to your name. In Psalm 122:1, it says, "I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" May Mert experience the joy and fellowship of worshiping with other believers.

Finally, we pray for your continued presence and guidance in Mert's life. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, empowering them to live a faithful and obedient life. Help them to seek your will in all things and to trust in your plans for their future.

In the name of Jesus, we pray these things. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
