Heavenly Father, move in our hearts until we share your agony for the lost, Lord. Would you show each person in my church the individual you are calling them to reach this day?
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Full Prayer
Please pray aloud:
Heavenly Father, would you help my church reach the lost?
You were so burdened by the thought of a perishing world that you gave your Son to rescue us. Who are we to be unenthused for this great undertaking? Who are we to place anything ahead of your mission? Move in our hearts by your Spirit until we share your agony for the lost, Lord. Consume us with a passion to reach the lost!
Would you show each person in my church the individual you are calling them to reach this day? Bring to mind the names and faces you love and long to save. Let no one in my church exclude or excuse themselves from this critical cause.
Move in our hearts until we share your agony for the lost, Lord.

As you move in our hearts, prepare also the hearts of those you long to reach. Soften their hearts to be ready to hear your invitation and receive your seed of faith.
In the same way, open a doorway for us. Perhaps it’s a moment in a conversation, or a service opportunity. Prompt us by your Spirit when the moment is right.
Finally, God, give us a boldness to step through that doorway. Make us unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let both love and urgency come through in our words. And make us compelling—give us the words to say and the actions to make that they might receive faith and be saved!
Give us the resilience of a harvest worker at dusk. Give us the focus of a widow sweeping for a coin. Give us the strength of a shepherd searching for a lost sheep. Here we are, Lord, send us! Make us your ambassadors to plead with a dying world to be reconciled to you.
Until your house is full and every seat at your banquet is filled.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
Luke 15:8
