21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” 22 Then you will desecrate your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, “Away with you!” (Isaiah 30:21-22)
This is our prayer for the Kuria people. Every day this month, as the chosen clans make preparation for circumcision rituals, we pray for the Lord to make His voice known. Whether they turn to the left or the right, wherever they walk, wherever they sleep we pray that the Lord will speak and that their hearts would be softened and would hear.
As those who profess to be Christians follow in the ways of their ancestors out of duty and tradition, we ask the Lord to call loudly to them. May their spirits be disturbed until they come to the realization that these rites do not glorify God. May the one desire of their heart be kindled into a raging fire of love and dedication to the One True God.
As those who work to reach the Kuria walk in these days and watch what happens, we ask God to give eyes that see Truth and ears that hear with Wisdom. We ask also for protection in body and spirit.
And for those who live in darkness we entreat the Lord break through that darkness and pour out streams of light.
Break through the darkness, Lord! Shine the Light of Your Glory on this land!
