A friend asked how we identify subjects for Christian Playbook posts. The fact is, the Spirit frequently moves in mysterious ways…
Today’s posting is such an example. While on the journey to another prayer, this one #58 “For Muslims” from the Book of Common Worship (HERE) jumped from the page. It seemed mighty appropriate given what was going on with U.S. immigration at that moment and still to this day:
# 58
For Muslims
Eternal God,
you are the one God to be worshiped by all,
the one called Allah by your Muslim children,
descendants of Abraham as we are.
Give us grace to hear your truth
in the teachings of Mohammed, the prophet,
and to show your love as disciples of Jesus Christ,
that Christians and Muslims together
may serve you in faith and friendship.
Amen.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS: Consider ways you can show friendship and love to those of other faith traditions. Any chance you can make that happen soon?
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
P.S. If you’re looking for a resource showing lots of parallels between Islam and Christianity, consider the book Spiritual Gems of Islam by Jamal Rahman
