Daily Prayer - Pray for your heart to burn

Good Friday morning, my friends.

Does your heart burn for those who have not heard the Gospel?  My answer to that would be: No.  It is more luke-warm than hot.  But the heat is growing.

When we look around us we see friends, neighbours, colleagues and strangers who have not been challenged by the Gospel.  Many may know parts of the Story, but have never been confronted in such a way that they have to make a decision.  And unless they are presented with the full Gospel, and given a chance to choose Christ, we will be separated from them for eternity.  How will they know if no one tells them?  This is a huge challenge for me and for you. If we want to overcome our fear in this area, we must begin in prayer.  Pray for God to strenghten us and others.  Pray for your heart to burn.

Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,
Bruce

Father, give Your people hearts that burn with Your longing for the Good News to be preached throughout the world, and begin the work in my heart. May we desire what you so deeply desire to do – to bring people into Your family and mold them into the image of Christ. May we faithfully invest our prayers, our time, and our money in what is in Your heart.

Bring a revival of urgent prayer among all Your people. May more churches, everywhere in the world, become missions-minded. May they send out people who are close to You, empowered by You, and equipped to serve and pray effectively.

Lord, You are in charge of the harvest. Cause countless people to turn from darkness to light and from the power of satan to You. Do this in every tribe, every language, and every religion – even in the most hard-to-reach places and the most resistant religions.

Amen!
(Warren & Ruth Myers, 31 Days of Prayer - Day 25)
