Day 31 of Prayer and Fasting (Rosh Hashanah/September 25) 1st Nation in Focus (for Intercession): Republic of Indonesia Prayer Points: ● The Islamist vision of an Indonesia without Christians generates pressure and persecution, often yielding violence, destruction and atrocities. This is manifest through establishment of Muslim presence on every corner of the nation and an orchestrated Islamic jihad against Christians. Pray that these plans might be frustrated and come to ruin, that what some intend for evil God may turn out for good; ●Pray that religious hatred and violence will discredit Muslim extremism and cause many persecutors to become believers. Pray for many Muslims to grow disillusioned with the violence and oppression - so that they may seek a true relationship with God through Christ; ●Pray for the secular government and national leaders (President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and President-elect Joko Widodo). Pray that they would intervene to stop religious violence when it occurs; pray that they would be strong enough to withstand and even to limit the extremists influence over the country; ●Pray for the Christians to respond to Islamic aggression with tact and love, but also firmness, and in all ways to commend the gospel. Pray that fear of witnessing might be replaced by courage to share about Jesus. Pray also for heartfelt repentance among all Christians for the ways they have damaged their witness by attitudes and actions of enmity and reprisals towards Muslims.
