Lead Me to One

The power of prayer in opening doors to share the Gospel

We all know people who need to come to know Christ. Do you pray for opportunities to share with them? It is encouraging when the time between the "ask" and the "answer" in prayer is short. It is even more encouraging when the answer is “yes.” Chris Vennetti experienced this with neighbors on his prayer list.

You can begin each day praying that God would lead you to one person you can help point to Jesus. Scripture makes it clear that there is a connection between our prayers and God providing opportunities to talk about Jesus. The apostle Paul would often mention people by name in his prayers. He would also be specific in his requests. Why not pray for opportunities to share Christ with people around you?

Application question:

• Can you start your own prayer list of individuals? Possibly neighbors, co-workers, and friends? Pray for them intentionally and look for opportunities to talk to them about Jesus!
