Observation

For what did Jesus instruct His followers to pray? For what did He tell them they should rejoice?

Application

Do I pray for the lost and for God to send workers to share the Gospel with them? Do I rejoice more about other things than the fact that my name is written in heaven?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father in heaven, The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. I pray that You would send out workers into Your harvest. I thank You that Satan has no power over me, but I don’t rejoice in that–I rejoice that my name is written in the Book of Life in heaven because of what Christ has done for me! In the name of Christ Jesus I pray, Amen.

Pray to BLESS!
One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)

Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm. – Psalm 20:7-8 (HCSB)
