For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the (people in Qatar). For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 Heavenly Father give Your children in Qatar the boldness and power to be unashamedly bold in their faith of You. May they be fishers of men.
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you! ’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’ Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God! ’ —John 20:26-28 Compassionate, merciful, loving and patient Lord, we praise you for reaching out to all who doubt. We know it is your desire that all should believe and be…
“The task is not to get God to do something I think needs done, but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can participate in it.” —Eugene Peterson Father God, I don’t want to tell you what to do in Qatar today according to my good ideas.

‘Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: ‘I have seen the Lord! ’ And she told them that he had said these things to her. ’ —John 20:18 Lord, your ways are truly not our ways and your thoughts not ours.

‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’(1 Pet 2:24) As intercessors we announce forgiveness of sins and healing of wounds to all the people of Qatar in Jesus name.

Almighty God, You so loved the world that You gave Your one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. You did not send Your Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him (John 3:16-17). It is not Your will that the wicked will die, but that they will repent and turn form their wicked ways and live (Ezek 18:23). Jesus, You are the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that…
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. —Hebrews 11:1 Thank you, Jesus, that we can have faith that you are doing a mighty work all across Qatar. You are not content with only a handful of people who know and follow you. You desire a multitude of Qatari nationals before your throne. Today, we ask for a mighty harvest in Qatar!
Pray that God would pour out His Spirit on everyone living in Qatar and that they would see dreams and visions of Jesus. Pray that they would be powerfully saved and empowered to be His witnesses. “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire…
