Day 42: Prayer Challenge #6

 

The following Prayer Challenge is an essential part of the “Love Your Neighbor” Adventure. Without it, you might be tempted to take a few minutes each day to read the Bible Study and then do nothing else with it. Love Your Neighbor is not about changing your mind or even your heart; it’s about changing your life and your world!

The Sixth Challenge:

Learning to Listen

 

Look for an opportunity to have a conversation with someone from a different faith tradition or someone who has no connection to any religion. This is not about changing their mind, but hearing their heart. Only then will you be able to see where God is already at work in their life drawing them to Himself. If the person becomes argumentative or angry, move on until you find someone who is open to sharing with you.

Pray as you begin: “Lord, let me see your image within this person. Help me look past beliefs and opinions that are different from my own to see what is in this person’s heart.”

Afterward write down your thoughts and feelings. If you are comfortable doing so, send an email (dnich1803@gmail.com) letting me know how God touched your life through this.
