Prayer for Iraq

and Its Neighbors

The time has come!  Diligent daily prayer for Iraq and its neighbors needs to explode across the world.  

Please join a growing global team in praying along the following five points:

  • That Iraq not descend deeper and deeper into violence.

  • That the perpetrators of daily violence and evil be caught and brought to justice.

  • That peace, righteousness, and stability may spread throughout this land.

  • That the redemption of the people of Iraq—their transformation  by Christ--may accelerate.

  • To sum up:  We pray for a stable environment in which Christ’s body might flourish.  The future of the Middle East pivots on what happens in Iraq.  How greatly it needs our prayers!

 

We're  also praying for ten of Iraq's neighbors:  Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Lebanon, and Israel.   In obedience to I Timothy 2:1-5, we must pray for the leaders in these lands. 

Pray that each leader would be drawn to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  Pray the same for the people they govern.  That is a huge prayer vision, but God is the God of breakthroughs—He is the God of the impossible!

 

Speaking of other countries, please also pray for the wisdom of the U.S. congress, President Bush and his cabinet, as they seek a righteous and wise path in Iraq.

We have been blessed with the gracious support of Intercessors for America and several other huge denominational networks (one of which sent out our prayer alert in early January to over 20,000 churches), and have just completed on Feb 21st an initial 40 day season of prayer.  Now we are preparing to launch a second season of prayer of 40 days, starting March 25th through May 3rd (the U.S. National Day of Prayer). 

During this new period, we will concentrate not only on praying for Iraq and its neighbors; we will also pray for the burden to be spread nationally and globally.  We are also targeting April 18th as our “Global Day of Prayer for Iraq.”

Add your name to our Prayer for Iraq team.

Thank you for joining us in prayer for Iraq and its neighbors!  Thank you for spreading the word to every church and prayer network you know! 

In Christ,

The Prayer for Iraq Team
