All Days
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
One of the primary ways God is drawing Muslims to Himself is through simple Bible studies that highlight passages of scripture from Creation through the Resurrection. The Waha app (https://waha.app/) contains many story sets that have been translated into dozens of languages. Throughout the 30 days we will pray through these story sets that reveal Jesus, the Word made flesh.
As you read these familiar passages, prayerfully imagine what it would be like to read them for the first time – to see the wisdom, power, beauty, and authority of God and to be drawn to trust in Christ and yield your allegiance to Him.
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
God desires a relationship with His people that will reflect Him to the rest of the world. As Creator, He institutes laws to help them live flourishing lives as citizens in His Kingdom.
This passage teaches us that humans are incredibly prone to worship things that are not the one true God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
Amira is a Muslim from a neighboring country. She faces exploitation and being taken advantage of often when she leaves her home. “A taxi driver tried to charge me four times the correct price and when I pushed back, he said, ‘You’re a rich Muslim from another country, you have oil, you can afford it.’ I hate the people of this land and their underhanded ways.” Amira’s experience reflects the brokenness and dishonesty that pervades when people ignore God’s commands.
Pray for the dishonest financial deals, fraud, theft and lying that plague humanity to reveal the true state of human nature and to drive Muslims in this land to seek a real solution — the new heart of flesh that God promised in Ezekiel 36:26 to give to His people through Christ.
The command not to take the name of the Lord in vain includes more than just avoiding swearing; it also means not bearing God’s name in an unworthy way. Pray that Christians here would be known for living holy and respectful lives—lives that reflect a genuine fear of God, love for all people, and bring honor to the name of Jesus.
Paul explains in Romans 7:7, “Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, ‘You shall not covet.'” He continues in verses 24 and 25, “Wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
Then in Romans 8:1-2, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”
Pray that Muslims would understand that God’s moral standards and righteous requirements reveal our inability to fully obey on our own, but that Jesus came to set us free from the law of sin and death. Pray that they would experience the same revelation Paul described in Romans 7 and 8.
