Here are some prayer pointers regarding the gospel: 1. Ask the Lord for help in living a life that suits the gospel and “adorn[s] the doctrine of God” (Phil 1:27; Titus 2:10). 2. Ask the Lord for divinely arranged opportunities to witness (Col 4:3). 3. Ask Him for boldness for yourself and your fellow believers (Acts 4:29; Eph 6:19-20). 4. Pray for opportunities to invite your unbelieving friends to gospel events (Lk 14:23). 5. Intercede for them that the Spirit will give them ears to hear His Word and will open the eyes of their heart (Mt 13:15; 2 Cor 4:4). 6. Ask the Lord for ways to build relationships with those who are not necessarily “your type” (1 Cor. 9:19-22). 7. Pray that the Lord will bring other believers into your unsaved friends’ and relatives’ lives to show them the love of Christ and confirm the witness you have given (2 Cor 13:1) 8. Pray “the Lord of the harvest” that He will thrust out more laborers into the harvest fields while there is time (Mt 9:38). — J.B.N.
