Bring someone to Jesus and trust him to speak into their life

Wait until you know every answer before mentioning Jesus

Talk about God in general, but keep Jesus out of it

Try to improve the person's habits first, then bring up faith

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I cannot save myself or make myself new. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and confess you as Lord. Bring me into your family, give me a new heart, and lead my life from now on. Amen.

Receive the One Who Knows You

Lord, revive your Church so we do not keep people at a distance, but bring them to Jesus. Give us attentive eyes, humble words, and courage to point others to Christ instead of ourselves. Wake us up again to this kind of loving witness, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Bring Your Church Back to Jesus

Father, thank you that Jesus sees people personally and speaks with purpose. Thank you that you know our names, notice our lives, and can give us a truer identity in Christ. Help us receive your attention with gratitude, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Seeing Us

Pray by naming one person you want to bring to Jesus. Ask God for one loving step you can take, and ask him to help you see that person with Jesus-like attention today.

Pray for One Person to Meet Jesus

Bring these to God: the labels you have carried, the fear of being seen, and the hope that Jesus can speak a better name over you. Ask for a heart ready to receive his truth and live from it.

Receiving a New Identity

Pray for one person who does not yet know Jesus: that they would be brought close, seen clearly, and ready to hear Christ's word over their life.

For Someone Not Yet Close to Jesus
