Call to Prayer

Colossians 4:2-6 says "2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let you conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

God has layed these verses on my heart tis morning because so many times we forget to pray for our testimony, our witness to the world. We pray for the sick and the hurt and for ourselves, but we forget to pray for those that see us in the world. It is amazing how God can use one small action or sentence to change a person's life, but the devil can do the same. Afterall, he has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But should we pray daily for the people who will see us, the people who will speak to us, then God will open the door in ways we never expected! It can be a simple conversation on the way to work or holding the door for someone behind you, you never know how God is going to give you the chance to witness for Him. So let this be our prayer today, tomorrow, and forevermore: God, I am your servant. Let me be a witness for you. Use the encounters I have with the world to share the Gospel of salvation with the lost. Let me be a light for You and let them see You shining through me. To You be the glory and the honor and the power forever. In Christ's name, Amen.
