Daily verse
“Yet even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning….”
Thought for the day
Fasting and prayer
The overall theme for this years 30 days of prayer is 'hospitality'.
30 Days of Prayer represents an opportunity to pray for unreached people around the world.
And there seems to be a direct link between this global prayer movement and the rise in interest of followers of Jesus within the house of Islam.
Lovefast is about rooting this to our experience in UK. We will be looking at the same themes, but applied to Muslims in Britain.
The 30 days of Ramadan are a great opportunity to meet Muslims friends as they are desperately seeking Allah, as they fast and pray to draw nearer to God.
You can sympathise as they take ‘nil by mouth’ - no food or drink from sunrise to sunset, and then the joy of breaking their fast with dates and an Iftar meal.
You may be invited to an Iftar meal yourself at a local mosque, or an event run as part of the #BigIftar But use this opportunity to reach out to your muslim friends
Prayer for the day
Pray with Paul from Romans 10:1:
Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved
Why not write down the names of five Muslim friends you know and pray for them throughout Ramadan?
Daily action
Ensure you’ve got a 30 Days of Prayer booklet during Ramadan and sign up to Mahabba’s #lovefast so we can pray and act together as a Network for our Muslim friends
