For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. – Ephesians 2:8-9

“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. – 2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:3-11
Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. – Proverbs 18:12
Derna has a long history of Islamist radicalism. Marginalized during the Gadhafi era, it contributed more foreign fighters per capita to al Qaeda in Iraq than any other town in the Middle East. It has also provided scores of fighters for ISIS in Syria. This town is known for its pride in being the “most pious town is Libya” Pray that God will reveal to them their true state before God and reveal that no man can boast! Pray that they would take on the humility of Christ that became nothing to save us. Pray that God would transform this place and instead it would send out the most peacemakers for Jesus in the Middle East!

Dear Father, your Word tells us about Nebuchadnezzar and the arrogance he displayed; and how you humbled him, causing him to eat grass like an ox. Eventually he wised up and exalted you.

Dear Father, we continue to hear of isis “victories” all over. The terror continues and they continue to boast. But you are the same God who answered Hezekiah’s prayer about Sennecharib. The Assyrians boasted that their gods were unstoppable too. Yet one of your angels wiped out 185,000 of their army, and Sennecharib himself. Please have mercy on your people, even though at this time we have no godly or righteous leadership. Please protect your people. Please cause those who have served the false god of islam to turn to you. Please let us fall into your hands, and not into the hands of the evil one. We pray in Jesus’ name, for your glory. Amen.
Father,
I struggle with pride. I know how deceptive it is. How is lulls you into it’s grasp. Father, as you have revealed this sin to me, reveal it to the people of Derna. Give them visions and dreams that disturb their sleep and break their hearts with the evil that pride has sewn in their lives and among their people.
False piety is deceptive. True religion that You accept is care for the widow and the orphan – not to create widows and orphans! I ask this in humility, because I am a sinner in need of a savior, just like all the residents of Derna. Amen
After the news today, even though I finished the 30 day prayer journey, am praying this prayer again. God hasn’t given up on them and we shouldn’t either. He is always faithful. Praying to have faith, even when we can’t see what He’s doing and don’t understand His ways that are higher than ours.
Dear Father, we live near the town that sent out the most soldiers per capita on D-Day to fight for freedom, but these deluded people are fighting for that devilish religion and the destruction of your church and Israel. We appeal to your justice to stop them! We appeal to your mercy to save them. We appeal to you as Jehoshaphat did. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you. Speak to the women in this town and all the places infested with those who terrorize people in the name of islam. Put your love in them so that they would not want or encourage their men to act like this. Please, Lord, help. Let us hear you say, “the battle is not yours, but God’s.” We pray this in Jesus’s name. Amen.
