Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
praying for the lost
This week we will be focusing our collective prayers as a church on reaching the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ. This is one of the greatest functions of the body of Christ and in an incredible display of mercy and grace, God uses the saved to reach the unsaved through the work of the Holy Spirit. He alone gets the glory for this work, and it is only by his work in us that we can participate. This work is ongoing, and the need is great, but we serve a mighty God who delights in the lost being found.
Week 21
Day 6

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
— Ezekiel 36:26
REMINDER: When Jesus becomes the forgiver of your sin and the leader of your life, He gives you a new heart. While He isn’t talking about your blood pumping muscle, He is talking about the things you care about the most. This is the same heart we reference when we tell someone to put their heart into it or to love with all your heart. He says He is going to change the things you care about to be things that He cares about. Let’s pray today that God reaches the lost and replaces their heart of stone with a heart of flesh.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Thank God that He has changed the things you care about most.
– Pray that the gospel would penetrate the hardest of hearts so that they may be made new.
– Pray that the lost would recognize their need for transformation through Jesus Christ.
