Pray specifically for the Lebanese Arabs of United States

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6

Pray that those who don't know Jesus will recognize Him as the only way to the Father and follow Him in faith.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:23

Pray that the gospel will advance and many will acknowledge that all have sinned, fall short of God's glory, and need a Savior to reconcile them to God.

For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.
2 Thessalonians 3:5

Pray that as people place their faith in Christ, they will persevere according to God's command, walk in faith, and be strong so that they can resist the evil one’s deception.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Ephesians 6:11

Pray that those God sends to cross cultures will put on the full armor of God so that they will be able to stand against the schemes of the enemy.
