Prayer Focus: For Wesleyans to boldly embrace God’s mission in here, near, hard and far places in the Florida District and Great Lakes Region.
Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to obey …” (vv. 19-20)
Dear Lord,
Thank you for loving us and dying for our salvation. Help each of us to honor your sacrifice by living into this Great Commission that Jesus gave to all believers in all times and every space in our world.
We are grateful that you have not expected us to figure this mission out and do it on our own. You have equipped your children with special and specific gifts to enable us, as we work together, to fulfill your command. And you’ve given each believer a role to play in this Great Commission.
Strengthen your children to obey you, Father. Embolden us to proactively share your salvation message with others. Empower us daily to live courageously and wisely as we look for opportunities to proclaim the good news. Guide us in our going, showing us how to teach and disciple those you’ve entrusted to us so we may baptize them in your name and for your glory.
We pray specifically for Derek Atkinson and Chris Conrad as they lead the Florida District and Great Lakes Region to reach lost people for Christ. Help these district superintendents, churches, leaders and congregations to keep your Great Commission in focus as they make decisions. May each church and believer be given daily strength and wisdom to carry out your desires in serving and leading those you have given and will entrust to their care.
In the name of Jesus, our Christ, amen.
Roger Metcalf
