A Prayer For You Today

My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross
My Worth is Not in What I Own—Verses One and Two.
Here are two prayers seeking God’s help this Easter season.
A prayer for you today.
A prayer for those outside of Christ we personally know.
May ___________ (insert their name) repent and find grace and mercy through Jesus Christ, who was crushed by the wrath of God for sinners like me and them, so that they will be found righteous in Christ at the Judgement, through the gift of the righteousness from Christ, given at the very moment of their conversion.
For Jesus’ sake, we ask. Amen.
A prayer for those we do not know as of yet who are outside of Christ.
Lord God, thank You for Your goodness and willingness to use even us in the great work of pointing others to Jesus Christ. Please help us to share the faith sensitively, lovingly, and clearly with others.
Give us faith to believe that we can be used to see God bring people to Jesus. We need Your wisdom to be a good, kind, and truthful witness to people whose lives You are at work. new
Then, please, give us the diligence and care to see these new born-again Christians grow in grace and Christian maturity and become established in the local church. For Jesus' sake. Amen.
Taken and slightly abridged from the book, Facing the Task Unfinished by Roger Carswell
God bless you in all things great and small this week.
