Prayer Fuel
Every Day Prayer Fuel (13 July 2024)
There are so many ways to pray over countries & peoples. Experiment with one of these if you’d like:
- Choose a passage of Scripture and pray the the truths in it–sentence by sentence–over Iraq and it’s people.
- Sing one of the songs shared this month over Iraq, or sing one as if you were a believer living in Iraq and lifting this praise to God, or singing out these words for your people.
- Perform a simple physical act as you pray such as “using your hand to stir up wind toward Iraq as a symbol of the Holy Spirit blowing there” or “pouring water into a bowl as a symbol of the coming of His river of living water there” or “bowing in worship as an invitation for all Iraqis to do the same.”

We are using the “Rivers in the Desert” app for daily prayer fuel…
available in the Play Store by searching the title or via this link:

available in the App Store by searching the title or via this link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rivers-in-the-desert/id6451447522
[ NOTE: You may not be able to find or download the app in your Play Store or App Store because of the country you are accessing them through. Try changing the country to one that is outside the Middle East or accessing your Store through an account that is linked to a country outside of the Middle East.]
If you can’t access this app, you can download a simple monthly calendar to pray each day of or on selected days:

The Basic format of this prayer initiative is to pray for one of our Middle Eastern countries each month for 13 months from September 2023-September 2024.
Each week of each month will usually follow this pattern:
Sunday: praying for those things that may multiply new churches/fellowships into movements
Monday: praying a verse or set of verses over that country
Tuesday: asking for breaking through barriers that could limit Kingdom growth
Wednesday: lifting up local partners
Thursday: praying for seekers and new believers
Friday: interceding for sharing & sowing opportunities
Saturday: asking for breakthrough in certain cities or among a certain people group

If you have any problem accessing the app or the calendar, you can invest your committed prayer time into prayer for one or more of those topics.
If you need more prayer fuel…
- search for today’s news about that country
- look at a map and pray for places you see
- reach out to someone you know who is working in that country and ask them how else you can pray
- ask the Holy Spirit what you should pray that day. God likes to direct us into intercession when we ask and listen. If you don’t “hear” anything, pray what is most on your heart or mind.
