We know the Lord’s prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), but are we praying the “Disciple’s Prayer”? In John 17, Jesus prays for His disciples, in whom He invested His life. Ultimately He would entrust to them the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and the gospel's advance (Matthew 24:14). Behind Jesus’ prayer are some principles about how to pray for those we disciple. Here are eight words to help you pray for your disciples.

A Disciple-Maker life takes Disciple-Maker Vision. My growth, my Jesus, my discipleship has its place center stage, but it's not the only thing on the stage. No theater runs with a cast of individuals buried in their own script, waiting for their own queues. It takes cast members that see everyone else's part, see the props and pieces to hold, see the overall plot and the scenes that build it, see the audience whom all this is for, and see the director from whom all things come. It's the same with Jesus in the great dramatic unfolding of his kingdom come and his gospel for all. You probably started with fixating on your part, which is normal and expected. The time comes when you see the rest. Every Disciple is to become a Disciple-Maker. These next forty days are for shifting your Vision to that of a Disciple-Maker. More than nuggets of wisdom, this devotional aims to set you up with an open-ended dialog with Jesus. Be ready to sit in scripture and prayer long enough for something new to be formed with him.
