May all your disciples experience your supernatural presence and peace every day.
“Anything creative, anything powerful, anything biblical, insofar as we are participants in it, originates in prayer.” -Eugene Peterson What an exciting thought. We serve a mighty, powerful, creative and good God. Prayer is our primary means of communication with Him. Dear Jesus, we lift up Qatar to you. Thank you that you have Sons and Daughters in that land, both Qatari and expatriate. I pray that you would strengthen them today.

“Prayer is nourished and flourishes when it is firmly rooted in the creative and redemptive word of the living God.” – Eugene Peterson Today, as we pray for Qatar, start your prayers by asking God to give you a Scripture to pray from.

Lord, we bring Qatar to your feet and ask that you yourself will touch the lost, broken-hearted and those who are imprisoned by religion and wrong thinking. In Jesus name! (Matthew 15:30; Isaiah 61:1)
One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works. Psalm 145:4-5 Thank you prayer warriors! Prayer is what is making and will make a difference in Qatar!
We pray for religious leaders in Qatar to be confronted with the truth about Jesus. May they have soft hearts, and ready minds to listen and receive understanding. May they begin to lead others in the search for Jesus.
Father, we lift up the church pastors in Qatar today. We ask that you would speak into their lives and direct their paths. May they know what is on Your heart for Qatar. Give them a passion for bringing believers in Qatar together for worship, prayer, teaching and fellowship. Give them a vision for reaching Qatar with your Gospel.
In recent years there has been a growing awareness of human rights abuses in Qatar. Secular or nominal Muslim rights advocates have been speaking out against these abuses. Today, we invite you to pray for these human rights advocates. Pray that they may come to know Jesus as their Savior. Pray also that they will have wisdom in their work. May they know what issues to tackle and whom to work together with. Pray for their protection from people with more extreme religious views.
Today I pray for Qatari nationals who have a copy of God’s Word in their homes and haven’t picked it up lately. May You prompt them to read Your Word again and may it speak directly into their hearts and lives. In Jesus name, Amen!
