A PRAYER FOR AHMED & MARYAM and others like them

Read Ahmed & Maryam’s profile.

God, change is hard.

Thank you for Your promise that You never change (James 1:17). We cling to that when the world around us seems to change so rapidly.

We pray for Ahmed and Maryam and others like them. We thank you for the legacy of hard work and community they’ve modeled to the next generations. However, life and culture as they knew it is quickly dying.

As they age and face their humanity and death, free them from fear. You give us assurance of life forever through Jesus Christ. Open their hearts to this message. Breathe new life – everlasting life – into Ahmed and Maryam.
The parable in Matthew 20 gives us hope us that Ahmed and Maryam may still turn to you late in their lives. We ask You to reveal Your Truth to them.

And in the moments when they feel disconnected from the culture and even from their own family, we pray they would not fear changes that You bring. May they turn to You, and continue to leave a legacy – a legacy of turning to Christ – for those who will follow them.

Even though you never change, thank you for changing us.
