Praying for His intervention and peace. In Jesus' name! And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named ###, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, "Follow me."

Father of all people, help us recognize the people you place in our paths today who are ready to know more about Jesus.

We know that Jesus came to seek and save all who are lost, so please use the Holy Spirit to fashion our hearts to reflect the heart of our LORD and Savior, in whose name we pray. Amen.
