Day 14
Morocco
Lord, we pray for Moroccan Christian Believers to yield to the attitudinal change so that even if they stumble, they will stay with You. Make them realize that they have said wrong things, made mistakes. We pray that the Churches will preach about the sin of tongues that bad words will not come out of mouths of people. Lord, we pray that Your people will have control over all that he or she says that they will try to be a perfect person. It is out of the heart that the mouth speaks.
Holy Spirit, make people depend on You as the tongue is the hardest of all the parts of the body to control (The Bible, James 3:2).
The Kingdom of Morocco stays 29th on the 2023 World Watch List for Christian persecution. The King of Morocco is Mohammed VI. This North African nation borders the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the Mediterranean Sea in the north; it shares maritime borders with Portugal and Spain. Morocco borders Algeria in the east and Western Sahara in the south. The non-self-governing territory, claimed by Morocco, borders Mauritania in the Moroccan-controlled part of Western Sahara. The average pressure on Christians in Morocco remains high. And for converts from Islam, the pressure is even higher. They can lose their inheritance rights or even custody of their children. Converts face opposition from family members, who do not want them to practice their new faith publicly—often, this means new Christians are not allowed to be baptized, married, or buried in a Church or Christian ceremony.
