God calls His children to love others, not just their neighbors or those they might dislike, but also their enemies. They are to “pray for those who . . . persecute [them]” and “do good to those who hate [them]” (Matthew 5:44 NKJV) without expecting anything in return. God wishes that none should perish, “but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 NKJV). These statements include members of the government in Afghanistan. They were all made in God’s image, and He sent His Son to die for them, as well. Like everyone else, they are all sinners in need of a Savior. Please pray that they will replace their religion of working for their salvation with a real relationship with the one true God. Ask that they will turn from their wicked ways, repent, and receive Jesus and all the power that the Holy Spirit gives to those who know Him. Pray for the redemption of their souls.
