Pray for Egypt

Please keep Egypt in your strong prayers for the situation there. This just came in from Cairo: 

“Thank you so much for your call. I praise God for his mighty hands with us. Internet came back just one hour ago, we are holding prayer meetings in the morning, and a 24 hour prayer from the homes. We appreciate your joining in prayer with us, Tahrir square, is becoming a fire war spot, those opposing Moubarak are fighting now against others, violence is becoming more and more escalating. We are praying for protection, coverage, because Satan is so live here.. We hope and pray it will turn for the good of Egypt, AMEN.” 

Some other friends pass on the request for prayer from another Christian leader: “A main prayer request for now is how the protestors will respond to Mubarak's announcement and the transition that needs to begin to bring things into order and stability again. There are more demonstrations planned for the next few days to continue putting pressure on Mubarak to leave. The protestors are calling for an even larger gathering this Friday during which the demonstrators will demand that Mubarak to leave office now. Pray that the Lord's will be done in this time of decision and the coming transition!” 

Please pray for His peace to be upon the nation, for order and stability to be restored quickly and that radical elements will not be able to exploit and hijack this legitimate protest and call for political change. Pray also for God’s people who must live and pray through the uncertainty there that He will give them clarity on their role. May His good purpose to bring about a more just, free society for the good of all be accomplished!
