Pakistan: six ways to pray following devastating attacks​

Last week, a mob of Muslim extremists attacked a Christian community in Pakistan, burning down several churches and homes. Possessions were looted and Bibles destroyed. The violence took place in the city of Jaranwala in Punjab Province after two Christians were accused of blasphemy.

Within 48 hours of the attack, three other blasphemy cases were initiated and threatened across Pakistan, two in Punjab and one in Sindh.

Christians in Jaranwala are determined to keep following Jesus. A young Christian called Serena* summed it up well: she held broken pieces of a cross in her hands, and said, “They do not know our secret. His cross is actually here.” She pointed to her heart.
Six ways to pray
A prayer for Pakistan

Lord Jesus, thank You that no lives were lost in this awful incident. Heal those wounded and traumatised. As people rebuild their lives, may they feel Your presence with them at every step. Strengthen and encourage church leaders as they care for their congregations, and may the authorities have the wisdom to differentiate lies from truth and stay impartial in their work. Bring peace to this community, and make them stronger in their faith through it. We also pray for those responsible for the attacks – may they have life-changing experiences of Your grace. Amen.

You Can Do It!

 
Dear Lord,

We come to You today on behalf of Taeweth and the Christian community in Pakistan. We lift up the victims of the recent attacks and ask that You would bring them comfort and peace. We pray for justice and protection for those affected and for the perpetrators of the violence to be brought to justice. We ask that You would provide for the needs of those who have lost their homes and possessions.

We pray for Your protection over the Christian community in Pakistan and for Your Spirit to bring hope and courage to those who are facing persecution. We ask that You would bring healing and reconciliation to the region and that Your love would be made known to all.

In Jesus' Name, 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.
