Why Pray for Nations?
“All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name.” (Psalm 86:9)
“The nations will walk by its light … the glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it…! (Revelation 21:24, 26)
We should remember that while we intercede on behalf of people, we need also to pray for nations. God’s purpose in calling nations is that they should bring glory to his name. Nations are important to God and mentioned often in The Book. While nationalism is the truth taken and abused, loving the nations is obviously something that comes from God’s own heart.
Furthermore, each nation is different. Insight is needed for each individual nation. To pray for Kuwait we need to understand and hear God’s hearts cry for Kuwait. Praying for — say Iran — will require different understanding or different prayers. God knows each nation, its history and its place in the world better than anyone. Therefore we need to ask God what HE wants us to pray and then join with him for this wonderful nation.
Remember, the key to pray is to be able to look Father God in the eyes as it were and pray in faith and relationship HIS prayers.

Yes my freinds..The Church is not looking for the Sons of Ishmeal..does not have time or passion for them…the Daily Christian believers work consumeing the energy..
Also we need to pray for those Christian believers to be equiped and ready for the harvest that will come soon from the Sons of Ishmeal.
we need to be Mission Minded..Correct
musicgirl, I think what Kuwait lover means by
is that church isn’t necessarily mission minded …
The clarification is just so I can pray correctly and properly in terms of the prayer request.
No problem. I would be delighted to pray for the Arabic Church. Would you please clarify what you meant when you wrote “…the Church is only looking for the Christian.”
Musicgirl, will you please pray for the Arabic Church to see the mission of reaching Kuwaities, the Church is only looking for the Christian .. but not have the courage and boldness to pray for the Kuwaities. Blessings
Thanks musicgirl, be encouraged to pray even more! JJ
I’m growing as an intercessor for the nations and your message sheds more light into praying effectively.
Yes Lord… many Kuwaities are searching in other countries for pleasure, we ask you to open the Gates of their hearts to see you while abroad. In the searching journey connect them with other believers to invite them to you…we ask you Lord to make a breakthrough in Kuwaiti young people generation…that Kuwait will be for the Lord…Amen
