Praying For The Lost!

Missionaries bring food, medicine, vacation Bible schools and all kinds of aid. They know that if we are to convince people who are lost, of Christ’s Great Love for them, then we must first be Christ’s Hands and Feet and show them what real love looks like. For many, they simply have not been loved, truly loved, before. We need to Love them, as Jesus has loved us!

Another thing we can do as Brothers and Sisters in Christ is listen. Truly listen. Listening is almost a lost art and makes the person who is talking feel truly cared about. Often, the person talking actually finds their own solution as they talk.

We can hug them. Human touch is truly a Gift from God. It lets the other person truly know that we care. It warms the recipent and gives them hope and strength. The kind of hope and strength we all need. Hugs let them know that they are not alone. Not ever. Hugs reduces stress and anxiety, and help people relax. Hugs help everyone feel calmer and more secure. Hugs are a way we can give love, Christ’s love.

Sometimes, a person is simply too physically far from us for us to reach out too. But we can pray that God, who can reach them, will give ALL of these things too them.

And lastly, we can pray that they will one day ask Jesus to be their Savior. And we can pray that they do so while they are still alive, while there is still time for them to choose Jesus and choose Heaven. Remember,

“ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:”-John 11:25

When we think of the lost, we may think of someone we love here at home, or we may think of people who are in another country. It really doesn’t matter. Lost is lost. Please pray for them 🙂
