Welcome to 7 Ways to Pray, a monthly podcast brought to you by SAT-7.

When we watch the news and see some of the huge challenges facing the Middle East and North Africa, it can be hard to know how to pray. In this podcast, we’ll share a round-up of 7 key prayer points, to guide and inspire you in your prayers for the region.

This month, we bring you a special Christmas edition. Please join us in lifting up believers around the Middle East and North Africa this Christmas, many of whom will be celebrating Christ’s birth in the midst of suffering or isolation. Thank you for joining us in prayer.

Dear God,

1. We thank you for SAT-7’s Christmas broadcasts, and pray they will draw people to find out about you for the first time.
2. We particularly lift up isolated believers who can’t celebrate with others, and ask that they will find fellowship through SAT-7.
3. We pray for those around the region who are suffering, that they will know the presence of Jesus, our Emmanuel.
4. We give thanks for the return of Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem, the town of your birth.
5. We pray for those in the Middle East who are observing traditional times of fasting, that they will have a fresh experience of your Spirit.
6. We lift up all of SAT-7’s plans for 2026, and pray that you will be at the centre.
7. And finally, we give thanks for the season of Advent, and pray that we will focus our hearts on the joy of your coming.

In His name, Amen.

Welcome to 7 Ways to Pray, a monthly podcast brought to you by SAT-7.

This month, we are praising God for answered prayer. Back in September, many of you joined SAT-7 and other Christian organisations in a global day of prayer for peace in the Holy Land. In answer to these prayers, it is hugely encouraging to see a ceasefire agreement on the table, and the return of hostages and those who were imprisoned. As well as continuing to pray for the Holy Land at this crucial time, please lift up Sudan, where peace remains elusive.

Thank you for joining us in prayer.
