Each week’s Prayer Challenge is an essential part of the “Love Your Neighbor” Adventure. Without them, it is too easy just to take a few minutes each day to read the Bible Study and then do nothing else with it. This program is not about changing your mind or even your heart; it’s about changing your life and your world!
The First Challenge:
Seeing God’s Image
Go by yourself to a mall, restaurant, sports event or some other place where you can watch people without making them wonder if you are stalking them. Don’t let yourself be distracted by your phone, computer or anything else. Don’t speak to anyone unless spoken to first. (The exception, of course, is if you clearly feel led by the Holy Spirit to speak to someone!)
Pray as you begin: “Lord, let me see your image within people. Help me look past their appearance to see what might be in their heart. And let me see what is in your heart for them.”
Afterward write down your thoughts and feelings. If you are comfortable doing so, send an email letting me know how God touched your life through this. The first time I did this, I was amazed at the profound impact it had on me.
