Day 247

Scripture:

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

– Romans 10:1

Paul had a singleness of mind that defined his ministry. After persecuting the Church for its faith in Christ, his conversion gave him a clear perspective of the evil that can be perpetrated in the name of theology. Our lives are transformed when we prioritize others’ ultimate well-being over our need to validate our understanding.

Prayer: Lord, I confess that I spend too much of my time focused on myself. Give me Your heart for those who do not know You, people living in unreached areas around the world. Break my heart for them. I want to understand Your love for them.

Petition: For people living near our campuses who are searching for God, God will reveal Himself to them and use our church. For those around the world who have not heard the Gospel and for our church to feel burdened to help take the Gospel to them.
