Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

Let’s pray today for Ahmed as he leads house churches near Mosul, Iraq, asking the Lord to strengthen believers living under pressure.

We wrote a song just for today’s prayer. Listen and pray with us: onemiraclenight.com/songs#LovingOneAnother

Father, according to Hebrews 13, help these believers continue loving one another as brothers and sisters. In difficult conditions, deepen their unity, patience, and care so their relationships become a steady source of strength.

Strengthen Ahmed as he shepherds these gatherings. Give him courage, wisdom, and endurance as he guides people through uncertainty and risk. Guard his heart from fear or fatigue, and remind him that You see his faithfulness. Help these house churches practice quiet hospitality and generosity, even when resources are limited, so their homes become places of refuge and shared hope.

Remember those who face mistreatment or restriction because of their faith. Comfort them with Your presence and sustain them with peace stronger than circumstances. Where any are opposed, grant protection and wise discernment. Give believers endurance over time, replacing anxiety with steady trust, and let their perseverance become a testimony to families and neighbors.

Strengthen the church near Mosul so it does not shrink back but grows deeper and more resilient. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

110 City Focus for Today: SHIRAZ, Iran

I live in Shiraz — a city of gardens, poetry, and ancient memory. For centuries, travelers have come here to walk among the roses of Eram Garden and read the words of Hafez and Saadi, poets who wrote of love, longing, and truth. Shiraz has always carried a softer spirit than many cities in Iran — a place where beauty and art have shaped the soul of its people.

But these days, life feels different. The sound of jets and distant explosions sometimes interrupts the quiet of our streets. During the recent war, airstrikes struck near Shiraz, even damaging areas around the airport and killing civilians in nearby neighborhoods. Many families here now live with uncertainty, wondering what tomorrow will bring as the wider conflict continues across the country.

Beyond the war, there has also been deep unrest inside Iran. Students and ordinary citizens have protested economic hardship and political repression, and the government has responded with heavy crackdowns and internet blackouts. The tension is felt everywhere — in markets, universities, and homes where conversations grow quiet when certain topics arise.

Yet even here, in a city weighed down by fear and uncertainty, there is a quiet search for hope. The people of Shiraz have always loved beauty and meaning. I believe that longing — the same longing that filled the poetry of this city for centuries — is leading many hearts to search for something deeper than politics, war, or tradition.

In hidden ways, God is at work. Conversations about faith happen quietly. Dreams stir questions in the night. And small gatherings of believers pray for this city of poets and gardens to discover the true Author of life and the true Prince of Peace. I believe Shiraz will not only be remembered for its poetry of the past — but for a new story God is writing in the hearts of its people. 

Prayer for Today:

• Pray for students and young thinkers in Shiraz’s universities to courageously pursue truth and encounter the freedom found in Christ.
  (John 8:32 – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”)
