Turmoil amid the celebrations

Kosovo | OM International

The last, and most important, night of Ramadan (the Muslim's month of fasting) is a time of feasting and celebration.  In Kosovo, music was blaring from the mosques and there was a sense of excitment.

The following morning Yetmir*, a local believer, asked for prayer for his wife Lida*.  She had been awake all night in a terribly anxious state.  Her heart was beating too fast and she had to spend three hours in hospital receiving injections to calm down.  Lida* is full of fears, worrying that she might receive a phone call telling her that someone has died.  She is still grieving the loss of her father.  During Ramadan, her personal turmoil seemed to be intensified. 

A local worker shared, "I believe God is drawing her to Himself!"  Please pray for Yetmir and Lida and others like them in Kosovo.
