On friday we talked about praying according to the promises God has made in His word…here are four verses to shape your prayers for your friends:
Matt 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. [God has commanded us...He is with us Father, Son and Spirit]
Psalm 96:2-3 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. [We bring the Good News that salvation is in God...pray for joy in proclaiming the Gospel]
Rom 10:13-14 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? [Our friends need us to preach the Gospel, pray for strength]
Colossians 4:2-3 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains [Without prayer we can't prevail...only God can change hearts].
