There is always hope for the Kurdish people, Lord.The Bible says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is God's gift, not by works, so that no man can boast."
God, the Kurdish people are so accustomed to working for their salvation. They are slaves to Islam, and they are slaves to the cultures that rule over them. They are slaves to division, political wars, and global fragmentation. They are a people without unity, and they need a fresh word from your Spirit.
Father, rain down your Spirit upon the Kurdish people and give them hope in a world that divides and conquers them. Give them hope and lead them to the cross where alone they can find peace, joy, and happiness.
All the Kurds I know are unhappy. They put on a good show of joy in Islam, but they are not happy. They have questions about their own religion, but cannot show weakness or doubt. They want to know more about Jesus, but they're afraid of asking in case someone thinks they are converting.
Please, God, release the Kurds from the darkness of their prison. They have been imprisoned for centuries, and they have lost sight of their origin in Christianity from Acts 2. Help me to witness to my Kurdish friends, and continue to raise up Kurdish people who will be saved and witness of Christ to their own people. I love you God, and I want the Kurds to know the love you have shown me. I entrust my friends and their people to you, O Mighty Warrior from Heaven!
