Seeking the Lost

God sent His only Son to suffer and die, so mankind could be in right relationship with Him. He is still seeking the lost sheep in the world today. Now that you are saved, Jesus wants to reach the lost through you. Consider God’s heart towards the lost as revealed in these scriptures.

Prayer:
Jesus, share with me Your heart for the lost sheep in this world. I was a lost sheep and I remember how empty I felt and how meaningless everything seemed. Jesus I have known You as Savior and Deliverer but now I want to know You as the Lord of the harvest. I do ask You with all my heart to send out laborers among the lost. I ask that You would fill them with love and power.
Please forgive me for the many opportunities I have missed to speak about You to others. I repent for ignoring the nudge of Your Holy Spirit at times when you wanted me to share. I ask for courage and wisdom. I want to be Your witness in word and deed, seeking wholeheartedly after the lost. Lord bring someone who is seeking across my path today. I want to share with them what You have done for me. According to Your word, “there is salvation in no one else…” Jesus, may Your name be magnified!
Scripture:
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 10:2 “And He was saying to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'”
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.”
Luke 15:7 “…there will be [more] joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
