The following Prayer Challenge is an essential part of the “Love Your Neighbor” Adventure. Don’t be satisfied 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 Seventh Challenge:
Offering to Pray
Pray as you begin: “Lord, lead me today to someone who is in need. Fill my heart with Your love and let me see this person as You do. May Your love flow through me as Your Spirit fills me and leads me.”
Remember it is not your responsibility to either fix people’s problems or make them feel better by saying the right thing or quoting the right scripture.
Instead, offer to pray for them, lifting them up to God and asking God to wrap His arms around them and pour out His love upon them. Don’t wait until you get home to pray for them; pray out loud right where you are. If you are talking to someone on the phone, pray for them on the phone.
Afterward write down your thoughts and feelings. Send an email (dnich1803@gmail.com) letting me know what happened.
