On the bank of the Tigris River and home to a large Christian monastery, the city of Tikrit fell to Islam in the 10th century. Today, most people associate Tikrit with the birthplace of Saddam Hussein.
“And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12
Father, in a land that once had a presence of Your people we ask that you restore Tikrit in ways that only point to Your goodness and glory. God, would You shake the foundations of Islam that have a strong hold on the people there? Lord, would Your name be declared as restorer throughout all of Tikrit?
