BAHRAIN, Arabian Peninsula

The government of Bahrain recently prosecuted seven men for terrorism, sentencing them to life in prison for their involvement in a murder. Human rights groups claim this is a politically-motivated verdict and have also accused the government of using excessive force against the suspects and their families. The government contends the judgment and the actions leading up to it were warranted because the crime was "designed to provoke terror."

Pray for the Lord to give officials in Bahrain wisdom in dealing with threats to the nation's security.

Ask Him to root out corruption and attempts to control and manipulate.

Pray for the countries of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula to be cautious and vigilant in their attempts to combat terrorism.

Pray for the safety of the Bahraini people.

Invite the Lord to pour His Holy Spirit out on Bahrain, freeing the people from the bondage of Islam and leading them into the freedom of life in Jesus Christ.
