We Must Be People Who Pray

When we turn to the New Testament, we find that those who gave themselves whole heartedly to evangelism also gave themselves to prayer. Not only did they plead with men for God, they also pleaded for men with God. We find them asking God for the opportunities to speak the Gospel (Col. 4:3). They also requested the courage they would need when they received that opportunity (Eph. 6:19). Although the emphasis is on believers praying for themselves and others who are evangelizing, they also interceded before God on behalf of the lost (I Tim. 2:1-4).

Pray and keep praying. As you do, expect God to answer. Praying in faith is believing not only that He can, but also expecting that He will. God wants us to pray knowing He can and expecting that He will.
