Intentional Prayer

There are so many that are lost in our lives, are we so providentially blessed to know a few to petition the Lord for their salvation.    To be intentional, means to take time daily and put these petitions before the Lord in a formal time of prayer.   These prayers are not focused on prosperity and health, but only on the salvation of the few who are chosen.   These few people who are in our lives maybe family members, maybe people from work, or people that we just know from other venues, they too can inherit such a wealth that is beyond comprehension.
As a devout believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, I have seen a laps in my own life, a carious heart towards the lost.   It's often easier to just say "Make it easy Lord, I don't want to do the hard work" when it comes to the great commission.   Sometimes we see it as a lost call, because so many have turned there back on the Lord.  The problem is, we were called to be among the world, but not living as the world lives.
What can I give up that the world might know you more! The first step is to be intentional in prayer for those I know.   List out those people, know them, and pray for them daily.   Learn the struggles in their lives, and keep those requests before the Lord.
The way others know, is the Holy Spirit must renew their hearts, to turn from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh.  To know the Lord requires regeneration.   We have but one purpose, to be the mouth of God to a dying world.   This dying world knows God exists, but refuses to acknowledge Him. 
So Christian, devote yourself to praying for your unsaved friends.   Know them, and reveal your petition to the Lord and stand back and let Him work.

That the world might know He is God!
