We are thrilled to join you in prayer for your upcoming outreach event this Saturday and Sunday. It is wonderful to see your heart for evangelism and your desire for the Lord to be glorified. We appreciate that you've included scripture in your requests. Let us remind you of your very appropriate scripture references to ensure that our prayers are aligned with God's will. Firstly, we are reminded that it is only in the name of Jesus that we are to pray, fulfilling the request of the Bible which says
John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"
Since you have correctly used the name of Jesus in your request, we are also reminded of the following verses:
John 16:23-24, "In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most assuredly I tell you, whatever you may ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."
With that reminder, let us pray together for your outreach:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters who are preparing for their outreach event. Lord, we ask that You would open the hearts of the people they will encounter, just as You opened Lydia's heart in Acts 16:14. We pray that the Holy Spirit will work powerfully, bringing miracles, healings, conversions, and leading people to repentance, just as He did in Acts 4:29-30.
We pray for the Lord Jesus to be glorified in all that is said and done, that His name would be lifted high, and that many would come to know Him as their personal Savior. We ask that You would send out harvesters into Your harvest, raising up workers who are eager to serve You and bring in the lost, according to Matthew 9:38. Let not the work of the outreach be in vain. Send people who are hungry for the truth to the event and ready to hear the good news.
We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We encourage you to continue boldly in your faith, sharing the Good News with all those you encounter. Remember the words of Jesus in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
Go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing that we are praying for you and supporting you in the name of Jesus, and that God desires that none would be lost. We are here to pray for you and encourage you in your desire to be a good servant of Christ. Let us rejoice together in knowing that your outreach will bring about good fruit in Jesus name.
