To Win Multitudes Over to Faith

Light of the World,
This week of Epiphany, we reflect on the wise men who journeyed to worship the Savior. I pray that you continue to lead multitudes today to seek him, to find him, and to believe in him. Whatever their motives may be, give them eyes of faith to see their salvation. In their newfound joy, use them to bring others to you. Add massive numbers of souls to your kingdom, using the gifts of all of those added to build up and build out your church. Then, bless and serve the world through your church to such a degree that has never been seen before in all of history. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For All Who Seek Jesus to Also Share Jesus

Light of the World,
On this day of Epiphany, we reflect on the wise men who journeyed to worship the Savior. At some point, in some way, the news about the birth of the Savior had reached their ears and touched their hearts. That wonderful message was shared with them. Undoubtedly, upon returning to their own country and people, they shared not only stories of their travels with others, but also the news that a Savior for all people had been born. Like the angels and shepherds before them, they couldn’t help but make known to others this life-changing news. Lead all who seek the Savior also to share him. Use me to make known to others the life-changing news that a Savior has come into the world – a Savior for all people. Rather than assuming everyone already knows this, which is simply untrue, help me live as if they don’t, so that I approach my interactions with others as if I cannot wait to share something amazing with them.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For My New Relationships This Year

Friend of Sinners,
Thank you for the new relationships you brought into my life this year. Help me view others as you do and to value each one of them as precious in your sight. Allow me to make meaningful contributions in these relationships so that others feel known and appreciated. While some of these relationships will develop into more meaningful friendships than others, help me to be trustworthy and reliable for everyone across the board. I want others to know they can count on me. Through all of this, give me credibility, so that as opportunities arise to witness and let my light shine, others are attentive and willing to listen. Let me serve as a great neighbor to them in whatever way they need. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Witness with Confidence and Courage

Savior God,
You alone are the God who saves. While there are more false gods than could ever be counted, whether worshipped through false religions or idols manufactured in the hearts of men, salvation is found only in you, the true and Triune God. I know and confess this, but I don’t always reflect it confidently in my witnessing. Too often, bringing Jesus into the conversation never even crosses my mind. Then, when it does, I quickly imagine several negative scenarios or responses to justify my silence. Help me overcome myself, Lord, and let what I know in my mind and heart bear fruit from my lips. If you alone save, that is reason enough for me to make sure your name and your salvation are clearly made known to all people. Give me both confidence and courage to boldly bless others with your name as I magnify you in my witness to others. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Conversion of Others

Dear Redeemer,
I am grateful for the many believers you have placed in my life to support and encourage me in my faith. But not everyone in my circles believes, and I boldly ask for you to change that. Whether it is through my relationship with them and my efforts to lead them to faith in you, or by any other means, I humbly ask that you lead them to know and believe in you as their Savior. Let your law convince them of the inescapable reality of their sin, the undeniable truth that they can never attain the perfection you require of them, and the conclusion that they can do nothing to save themselves. 

Then, reach into their despair and hopelessness with the good news of your gospel. Show them that you alone are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, that no one is saved apart from you, but that all can be saved through faith in you. Open the eyes of their heart to see your perfection as theirs, and your payment for their sin as complete. Grant them the joy of salvation and the hope of eternal life. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Make Your Mission Mine

Dear Jesus,
Keep me on mission – not mine, but yours. The daily grind can keep me from remembering that as one who has been bought and paid for by you, I have also been set aside for your purposes. In addition to your general call to daily put my faith into practice in all walks of life, you commission believers to spread your gospel to the ends of the earth. So many are blindly stumbling in the darkness of unbelief, either unconcerned or unaware that they stand lost and condemned without you.

Unloose my tongue so that the joy of salvation spills from my lips as freely and effortlessly as possible. Make me as passionate for your mission as you were to secure salvation for all. Place me in situations that provide the setting to point others to your grace and forgiveness. Give me ears that are willing to listen for opportunities to bring you into the conversation and make you known. Fill me with passion to fervently and faithfully carry out your mission.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Joy of My Salvation to Prompt My Witnessing

Light of the World,
Today is known in the Church as the Festival of the Epiphany, sometimes referred to less formally as “Gentile Christmas.” Whatever label we attach to it, what we are celebrating is the revelation that you are the Savior of the whole world. During the season of Epiphany, as we follow your ministry from the beginning, we see highlights that clearly make known for us who you are and why you came.

If I am going to bear witness to your work of salvation for all people, it starts with firmly embracing this most profound truth: you are my Savior. Keep this joyful truth always before me, so that it serves as the lens through which I view everything else in life. That joy, that you are mine and I am yours because of your saving work, stirs my soul and spirit, filling me with the desire and drive to make you known to others. I want to be your witness, so spur me on in that work with ongoing reminders of the joy I live in because you are my Savior.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Lead Others to Their Savior

Saving Lord,
You remind us repeatedly in your Word that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Your gift of salvation and your desire to save are the heart of Scripture and what binds it all together. I rejoice that I am numbered among those you have saved!

But there are many who still do not know of your desire to save or how you went about securing their salvation. How easily I allow this reality to get lost in the busyness of life and buried beneath other priorities!  You have placed many people in my life, and I regularly meet and engage with new people, but their salvation often isn’t even on my radar.

I pray for you to change that. Keep the salvation of others at the forefront of my heart and mind. Don’t allow other things – even good things – to overshadow the most important thing: that as many as possible come to know and believe in you as their Savior. Use all that I am, all the time, resources, and gifts that you have entrusted to me, to lead others to the joy of their salvation. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Use Me to Save Others

Faithful Redeemer,
Today I pray for the salvation of those who are still stuck in unbelief. There are people in my own life who don’t yet trust in you as their Savior from sin and their hope for eternal life. Where I can be more intentional in building deeper connections with those individuals, help me do so, knowing that I have the gospel that they need. Let my Christian living create curiosity in them as they see how differently I stand out from others in their life. Make me aware of ideal opportunities to engage with them and even to invite them to engage and interact with my Christian friends and church family. I know the good news about you and the difference it makes in my life, so let me take advantage of natural openings in conversations to insert and share my personal story about you. Work through me and other believers as we work intentionally to make you known to others, and so bring many to faith in this way.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Witness of Believing Homes

God the Father,
Wherever believing families are spiritually strong and healthy, use them as beacons of light to model on a small scale the blessings of belonging to the body of Christ. Let the world see in our homes the best qualities of the Christian faith in practice. Let love and forgiveness flourish. Allow patience and humility to abound.

Through Christian families, display a setting wherein truth is treasured and care and support are present in great measure. Where discipline is lovingly practiced in families, let those children embody what it looks like to honor and respect those in authority. Finally, by whatever means possible, allow such sanctified living within believing homes to serve as a witness to the gospel, so that it may be clearly known that any good work done in believing homes is a testament to your power and grace.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
