Praying for Thailand, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania

For people to know God and Jesus Christ whom He sent, for this is eternal life – John 17:3. For wisdom, financial provision, a healthy psychosocial well-being (spiritual well-being, psychological well-being, physical well-being, and social well-being), and safety of Christian missionaries. For knowledge, wisdom, and protection for the persecuted church so that Christians can worship freely. For the word of God to be available and translated in each language. For the salvation of those persecuting Christians. For the salvation of government leaders. For the salvation of citizens, a healthy psychosocial well-being and peace in the nation. For the hungry to be fed, the poor to be housed, widows and orphans cared for and deliverance from oppression and tyranny. For equal opportunity, liberty, and education. For divided families to be restored and for morality to be honored. For love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. For a love for God’s word and a refusal to compromise. For the citizens to live like Jesus Christ in this world – 1 John 4:17.

Prayer: Abba, we ask for Your will to be done in these nations. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Proverbs 28:1-6, 9-16, 18-19, 23, 25, 27-28 NLT “The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. A poor person who oppresses the poor is like a pounding rain that destroys the crops. To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. Evil people don’t understand justice but those who follow the LORD understand completely. Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich … God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. Those who lead good people along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the honest will inherit good things. Rich people may think they are wise but a poor person with discernment can see right through them. When the godly succeed, everyone is glad. When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble. A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor as a roaring lion or an attacking bear. A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people, but one who hates corruption will have a long life … The blameless will be rescued from harm, but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed. A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty … In the end, people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery … Greed causes fighting; trusting the LORD leads to prosperity … Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed. When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.”
