Yes, it’s the Lord’s day! Are you anticipating what God is going to do as we gather for
worship services devoted to prayer? Let’s prayerfully read the book of Acts chapter 9 of
the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. How did Saul experience a spiritual awakening? What
application and highlights can you make from his awakening?
Let’s pray for lost people who are like Saul of Tarsus to encounter Jesus. Zero in to V. 5 -
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul said. “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,” he replied.
THREE SPECIFIC WAYS TO PRAY FOR OTHERS TO COME TO JESUS CHRIST
1. Pray for the scales to fall away from their blinded eyes.
2. Pray for God to engineer their circumstances to convince them they need Jesus Christ.
3. Pray for God to send someone to tell them about Jesus Christ.
• THANKS: Holy Father, I celebrate the kindness of your heart that “none should
perish” and praise you for the gracious provision of your Son to make the good
news available.
• CONFESSION: Forgive me as I have not prayed with passion for those outside of
Christ; cleanse me from the busyness of human activity that hinders me from
engaging more fully in gospel witness. Holy Spirit, I yield myself to live and share
the eternal hope found only in Christ.
• PETITION: Lord Jesus, even as your heart is burdened for a harvest that is great
but laborers are few, touch my heart; bring brokenness for the lost upon my heart.
Holy Spirit, prompt and empower your prayer through me for those outside Christ.
Speak now as I listen for who you would want me to engage in passionate prayer
and courageous witness; I sense a specific urgency to pray for the scales of
blindness to be remove from ________ , ________ , and ________ .
• WORD: “‘I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand
before me in the gap ...” (Ezekiel 22:30 NIV). Lord God, even as you search to and
fro for watchmen to stand on behalf of others and their destiny, my heart is yielded,
and my spirit declares, “Here am I; send me.”
