I’ve been watching Ramadan with a prayer full eye. A devotional book has helped me focus those prayers for Muslims around the world. We do a good thing, and for God’s glory, to pray!
From the devotional for today, I’m reminded that today is the “Night of Power” for Muslims. Tonight Muslims have the opportunity to stay up in prayer all night. Prayers offered during this night are believed to be “particularly well received.” Muhammad was believed to have received his first revelation of the Qur’an during this night.
I wonder if we might adopt some of the fervor and passion of this night ourselves, as Christians. Perhaps God is calling us to greater prayer – perhaps even a night of prayer. For ourselves, for others, for a fervor in seeking God! Perhaps our prayers should also include a prayer for supernatural revelation of Jesus in dreams and visions for Muslims around this world.
