Father of Light, We come to You on behalf of Naomi. Thank You for giving her the courage to join a movement team impacting university students in and around Iran. Since she left her country weeks ago, smuggling herself in without proper paperwork, she risked everything to follow You. Father, we ask that You would guard and protect her from those who oppose the Gospel. Give her wisdom and patience to pray for open hearts before she shares, so that her life is protected.
As Your Word declares in Jeremiah 1:12, “I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” Watch over Naomi and the promises You have given her. What You have spoken will happen! It will not be abandoned or delayed beyond Your intention. Build courage in her heart today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It must be difficult not to be able to reach out and find out where the rest of her family is, but somehow help her to find comfort in Your word, in the prayers of the saints, and in the kindness of Your Spirit.
The prophet Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 6:8, “Here am I. Send me!” We pray this for Dinah as she comes to You; grant her a special revelation that will point her to You and the future that You have invited her into. Send her friends that rebuild her community and strengthen and encourage her today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
