Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, giving you praise and thanks for the increasing numbers of Somalis who are hearing the gospel and choosing to follow Jesus. We rejoice in their decision to embrace the truth and surrender their lives to you.
Lord, we lift up these new believers to you and ask that you strengthen their faith. May they stand firm in the face of persecution and opposition, knowing that you are with them and that nothing can separate them from your love. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, guiding and empowering them to live according to your will.
We pray for their protection, Lord. Shield them from harm and keep them safe from any harm or danger that may come their way. Surround them with your angels and grant them wisdom and discernment as they navigate the challenges of following you in a hostile environment.
Father, we also pray for the ministry efforts that are reaching the Somali people with the gospel. Bless and empower those who are faithfully sharing your Word, whether through various means or on the ground. Open doors for them to continue spreading the good news and grant them favor with the Somali people.
May your kingdom continue to advance among the Somali people, Lord. May their hearts be transformed by your love and grace, and may they become bold witnesses for you in their communities. We pray for a revival to sweep across Somalia, bringing many more souls into your kingdom.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness to answer. We trust in your perfect timing and your sovereign plan. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
