Prayer

 What should we pray for?

The Lord is soon coming. There are many that have not heard the gospel of Jesus that are unprepared. Jesus told his disciples that the harvest out there of souls is truly great, but there are few labourers. They need the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Acts 2:38).

"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." - Matthew 9:38

Living in these last days, we are in perilous times. There are evil men doing evil deeds.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." - 2 Timothy 3:13

Yet, it is not God’s will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We can pray that conviction comes upon evil doers, that God will send them dreams, visions, and witnesses that will lead them to repentance.

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9

Anxiety, fear, depression, pressure, and temptations plague many. Our brothers and sisters need our prayers. Praying in the Spirit is powerful praying. We should stay alert to pray for everyone and everything that the Lord puts on our minds.

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" - Ephesians 6:18

We must not live below our privilege to ask God to intervene and to help us in every situation that we face throughout our day, giving Him thanks and praise for everything He helps us with along the way.

As His children, we should be sensitive to every opportunity to be a witness for Him, letting His light shine through us. The world needs Jesus. He is their only hope, and we may be the only one that can reach them with His love and gospel.

"Be careful [anxious] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
