Day 1, August 25: Praying for a heart with an outward focus

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20

Notes:

Day 1 is a day of prayer. Day 1 is a day of commitment. Day 1 is the beginning of your great adventure. On fourteen of the next thirty days, you will be asked to do nothing other than pray. That’s because prayer is essential to your becoming a Great Commission Christian. If you try to accomplish this goal in your own power, you will not succeed. If you seek God’s direction and power you will see victories in your life, in the lives of others, and in your church. So it’s time to pray. You will have other days to pray about other important matters, but his day is a time for you to pray for yourself. You can use the guide above, and of course you can pray any way you feel led. Would you pray now for a Great Commission heart with an outward focus? (Jesus commisions the disciples to: Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” (Pray & Go, by Thom S. Rainer, pg 14)
