Day 27 - The Golden Rule

On Day 27 we pray Matthew 7:12-14 asking the Lord to empower followers of Jesus to live lives of humility and service. Content adapted from https://ramadan.prayer.tools/fuel/27Transcript:Today’s Scripture is Matthew 7: 12-14 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:12-14) When followers of Jesus live loving lives of sacrifice, it adorns the gospel that they preach. Father, we pray for the believers who live in Muslim countries today, that You would empower them to choose to honor others, to forgive, to offer hospitality, and to serve with humility, giving their lives for Jesus’ sake, calling others to the narrow way. Give them joy on the narrow way even when the road is marked with suffering. Give them the grace needed to say “yes,” even when it is hard. Give them joy in the midst of suffering so that their testimony rings loudly in the ears of a watching world. May Christians in these countries be known by their acts of service and hearts of love, even when it is costly.In Jesus name, Amen.
