Prayer starter

And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. - Philippians 1:9-11

Today I lift up the people of Tehran, Iran, to you, Lord, asking that the blinders will be removed from their eyes and they will come to know you as their personal Lord and Savior.

Fill them, Lord, with the fruit of righteousness that only comes through Jesus Christ, to your glory and praise.
