“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22 (ESV)
God calls us to speak to Him through prayer, providing a foundation for a closer relationship with our creator. Every Thursday I will post world and/or national events that need prayer. By praying for others around us, not only do we acknowledge their need, but also acknowledge our need for Christ to come into our lives.
Please continue prayers for the presidential election.
A Swazi woman reported that after her parents’ death, she has prostituted to five men daily in order to eat. Swaziland has the highest rate of HIV and AIDS in the world and because of lack of jobs, many women result to sex work.
Pray for this woman and all people in similar circumstances throughout the world. Pray that they are able to find stable jobs and rest from this sexual exploitation.
A 20-year-old Afghan woman, Mah Gul was beheaded by her mother-in-law for refusing to prostitute herself. Some Afghan women and girls are forced into marriages, where their husbands force them into prostitution. Afghan women have very limited freedoms in education and independence because of the Taliban restrictions.
Pray for all of the women in Afghanistan facing cruel punishments, torture, abuse and injustice. Pray that the Afghanistan society can recognize these cruelties and allow their women members to gain more freedoms.
Evidence has recently been revealed that showed over a thousand cases of sexual abuse in the Boy Scouts of America.
Pray for the victims of this sexual abuse and for healing for both victims and their families. Allow victims to find justice against the criminals that violated them.
