Empathize, Energize and then Evangelize

The world is literally on our doorsteps. His loving word, Jesus, seals us, sends us, goes with us and provides our daily Passports. Our itineraries are littered with the misfits, abandoned and the lost, who  glitter in His light. Prayerfully, they have been readied for us to spot them, prepared and readied to receive His gospel gold. He alerts our hearts, eyes and minds to all He places in our day. Then He equips us rightly to empathize and evangelize. What a great and good God we serve. Everywhere we are, He is, has gone before, and more!!!! Ahhh. What a Savior.

God of all comfort, Revealer of the lost, Sender of Salvation, Writer of all wisdom, knowledge and all that is worthy of knowing, You are the Amen, the Beginning and the End, it is to You we come to form and inform this prayer request. Father, make us fishers of men. Renew right spirits within us. Cause us to be fresh each moment in You. Make us cast off the oppressive nature of today's world. Allow us never to nurture the negative, downward thought wars which are never authored by You.
You waste nothing. Cause our "down" moments to be authentic, brief and instantly erased. Cause our behavior to be instantly rehabbed by deciding to leave the past in the past and walk refreshed and new now. Help us to relentlessly pray and understand how to walk by faith and not by sight.

Equip us to empathize, spiritually energize and practically realize the "now" and the "who" You send along our way, to evangelize, encourage and by Your love, invite into eternal life with You.

We pray to do Savior Behavior. I now see that faith sees past circumstances and gives our spirit's vision. A pure vision untouched by unbelief. We pray peace to Israel and thank You for all You have done, are doing and will do. In the matchless name of Jesus and for His sake we pray. We love Him. Amen.
