Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Sweet P's: A prayer for Asia Bibi
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Sweet P's: A prayer for Asia Bibi



Almighty and gracious Heavenly Father, we come before you with thanksgiving.

Lord, today we lift up our sister Asia Bibi, who was unjustly convicted of blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammed and sentenced to death. We ask that You be with her, that You comfort her and remind her that You will never abandon her.

Lord, we ask that you be with Asia Bibi's family. We ask a special blessing on her husband and five children. For the sake of her family we ask that she be spared this unjust punishment and returned to them unharmed.

Lord, You were able to free Paul and Silas from prison and turn the heart of their jailer. We ask that You turn the hearts of the Pakistani government officials, to bring them to repeal this unjust sentence, and to respect the rights of all non-Muslims.

Lord, we know that You are able, that You know what is best. We ask that if it is possible let Asia Bibi be spared death, yet let it be according to Your will.

Amen.

I pray with you for the freedom and sparing of Asia Bibi's life. This is awful to consider. So many suffer in our world for their faith. May God come quickly and change the verdict to not guilty.

Thank you for sharing your prayers along with me.
