New Life in Christ: Receive the Truth

Father, I pray for (name one or more) …
You are the Lord of the Harvest, and I ask You to plant the seeds of truth in the hearts of these who need salvation. Only You can help them to see the cross and understand their need of our Savior, to know Him as the Son of the living God. Reveal Christ to them. (Matthew 9:38; 16:16-17)

Send Your workers into the field, people they trust, whose very lives will be the salt and light they need to see. Send someone into their lives as You sent Peter to Cornelius; help them to be as ready as Cornelius was to listen to the truth. May the Holy Spirit come upon them even as they hear, with His saving power. (Matthew 9:38; 5:13, 14; Acts 10:30-33, 44)

Give them faith to believe in the name of the Lord Jesus as Savior and Redeemer and to receive Him into their hearts. May they confess with their mouths, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; Luke 2:11; Isaiah 47:4; Romans 10:9)

May they hear the truth, and believe it. In Jesus’ name, amen.
