Today we continue to pray for influential individuals in the government of Oman. There currently are 3 women serving as heads of government ministries. Madiha bint Ahmed Al Shibaniya is the Minister of Education, and “Madiha” is a household word amongst families of school-aged students in Oman. Dr. Rahma bint Ibrahim Al Mahrooqi was appointed Minister of Higher Education by Sultan Haitham in 2020. Her predecessor, Dr. Rawiyah al- Busaidiyah served from 2004 to 2020 and was the first woman appointed to the office of Minister in Oman. Laila bint Ahmed Al Najjar is the Minister of Social Development, appointed by Sultan Haitham in 2020. 

These women have been pioneers in leading female participation in government, and are role models to girls and young women across the Sultanate. Let’s bless these women, and ask the Lord to raise up many more women leaders in Oman!

• Open the heart of these women to hear and respond to the Gospel message. (Acts 16:14)
• Help these women know that their office was granted to them by God. (Daniel 2:19-22)
• Help these women to accept wise counsel. (Proverbs 11:14; 15:22)
• Teach these women to trust in You. (Psalm 21:7)
• Protect these women from the influence of the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
• Pray that these women will find wisdom and direction in God’s word. (Proverbs 21:1)
• Deliver these women from opinions contrary to Your Word. (Psalm 119:105)
• Enable these women to make decisions according to God’s truth. (Proverbs 2:10-11)

Worship with us!: Shout to the North by Delirious. May the women of Oman rise up and take their place of leadership in His Kingdom!
