Prayer for the Arab Republic of Egypt

The Arab Republic of Egypt is a country in North Africa that includes the Sinai Peninsula, a land bridge to Asia. Egypt borders Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and the Gaza Strip and Israel to the east. The northern coast borders the Mediterranean Sea and the island of Cyprus. The eastern coast borders the Red Sea.

Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa. The vast majority of its estimated 78 million people live near the banks of the Nile River in an area of about 15,000 sq mi where the only arable agricultural land is found.

Approximately 90% of the population adheres to Islam and most of the remainder to Christianity (primarily the Coptic Orthodox denomination). Apart from religious affiliation, Egyptians can be divided demographically into those who live in the major urban centers and the fellahin or farmers of rural villages.

Prayer:

Precious and holy Lord, I lift up to you today the people and the nation of the Arab Republic of Egypt. You, Oh Mighty One, have seen the rise and the fall of this civilization and as your written word tells us that your hand was upon the Hebrews and in your righteous anger you came down upon the land and the people of Egypt. So is the wisdom and knowledge of you Oh Father.

Please I beg of you to extend your mercy and grace upon this land and it’s people. Do not hold fast to the things that Egypt’s rulers have done to your people. Threats of war, war it’s self, blot them out and cover the people with the blood of your son, Jesus in who’s name I pray, amen.

Good morning Heavenly Father. Oh, precious Lord, how we all seek for Your will to be done on the earth as it is in heaven. Father, that all men would know Your goodness, Your righteousness. Holy One, You do not desire the death of anyone. You would that all would come to the saving knowledge of Your Son Jesus Christ, repent of their sins and seek Your face. So many have been led astray, seeking power over truth, wealth of this world rather than the riches of Your kingdom. Lord, only You know the hearts of men. And with that, we lift to you the Arab Republic of Egypt. We pray that every man, woman and child would be touched by Your Truth and love, that their hearts would be open to receive from Your kingdom rather than from the kindgom of this world that sets to steal, kill and destroy. Open their eyes to see and their ears to hear of Your mercy and grace and Your righteousness. Let them know You as their heavenly Father who so loves the world that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Help them to know this truth and Him that is Truth,in Jesus' name we pray.
