We are ALL your children, and even with that knowledge, so many do not receive your Word and accept your free gift of salvation through Jesus.
Knowing that we will enter your kingdom when we die, we pray that our loved ones who do not know you yet, will. For the reward of Heaven is plentiful enough, but to be able to walk with you here on Earth is a treasure every day, unknown to so many. True relationship with you is the joy and peace of this life, and the balm we often crave in this chaotic world.
Embolden those who are in Christ to be messengers. As we abide in You, may we walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh- with words and actions appealing to those who are not in Christ. Lord, supernaturally turn their attention to the Truth. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear. Awaken their spiritual need for you, and allow them to see you as a personal God, who loves them infinitely.
“Let OUR light so shine before men, that they may see our good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:18). Help us to usher the message of salvation to everyone. May we never deter others away from You, but keep on guard so that the reflection of Jesus is not difficult to be seen in us. Remind us to pray often for those who need you.
Teach us, lead us, help us, and strengthen us daily as we navigate the days of this life. Enable us to have influence over others that they may not be lost all their days. Help us to gather all your sheep to the flock.
In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏
Jesus said, “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18: 12-14
