Day 3: Call to Prayer

Posted: 28 Feb 2012 10:00 PM PST

During this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Over the next six weeks we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn.

Can you think of anything you do five times every day? There are very few things on my list. But faithful Muslim people in the Horn of Africa take time to pray five times every day. Before praying a Muslim will ceremonially wash their hands, feet, and face to make themselves “clean enough” to be heard by God. Then they face the east, lay out their prayer mat, bow, and prostrate themselves.

Connections

I don't know what’s on your list of things you do five times a day, but here are a few suggestions…

  • Today, each time you look at your phone, pray for the Horn.
  • Each time you eat a meal or snack, pray for the Horn
  • Each time you check your email, Facebook, or Twitter, pray for the Horn.

Ways to Pray

  • Lift up those who are seeking to be right and clean before God. Ask God to reveal himself as the one, true God. Pray that they find freedom from rituals and accept Christ as the only way they can be made righteous before Him once and for all.
  • Pray that they will share their joy with their families, neighbors and friends so they too can know Christ.
