GIVE ME A HEART FOR THE LOST
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” *(Luke 19:10)*
*Explanation:*
Jesus’ mission on earth was to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). As His followers, we are called to share in this mission by having a deep burden for souls. Asking God for a heart for the lost means desiring the compassion of Christ—seeing people through His eyes, praying for their salvation, and actively reaching out with the gospel. This prayer aligns us with God’s Will, stirring us to evangelize and intercede for those who have yet to know Him.
*THANK HIM AS YOU ARE LED:*
*I DECREE and DECLARE:*
My Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a humble heart, desiring to draw closer to You. Thank You for Your love and for calling me to share in Your mission of seeking and saving the lost. As I pray, Lord, fill me with Your heart of compassion, boldness, and a deep burden for souls. Let these prayers transform me and align me with Your perfect Will.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
1) *Prayer for a Heart of Compassion*
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a humble heart, acknowledging that I need more of Your love and compassion for those who are lost. You sent Jesus to seek and save those who are perishing, and I desire to share in that same burden. Lord, soften my heart so that I may not be indifferent to the cries of the unsaved. Let me not be so caught up in my own concerns that I forget the eternal destiny of those around me.
Lord, remove every trace of judgment, self-righteousness, or complacency in me. Teach me to love unconditionally, just as Christ did. Fill my heart with a deep yearning for souls, that I may intercede for them in prayer daily. Help me to see beyond people’s outward appearances and lifestyles, so that I may discern their spiritual needs and minister to them with grace and truth.
Father, I ask that You fill me with the same compassion that moved Jesus to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and reach out to sinners. May my life be an extension of Your mercy and grace. Let every conversation, every encounter, and every relationship be an opportunity to reflect Your love and draw people closer to You. Help me not to give up on anyone, no matter how far they seem from You. I surrender my heart to be used as an instrument of salvation in my generation.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
2) *Prayer for Boldness in Evangelism*
Lord Jesus,
You have called me to be Your witness, to proclaim the good news of salvation to the ends of the earth. But too often, fear, doubt, and hesitation hold me back. Today, I surrender my fears and ask for divine boldness to share the gospel with confidence and love. Fill me with the fire of the Holy Spirit, that I may not be timid or ashamed of the truth.
Lord, I ask for wisdom to know how to speak to different people—whether they are skeptics, seekers, or those who have strayed from the faith. Let my words be seasoned with grace and truth. Teach me how to answer questions with wisdom and how to demonstrate the love of Christ in both words and actions.
Break every chain of fear that stops me from speaking about You. Help me to overcome the fear of rejection, knowing that I am not responsible for the results, but for my obedience. Give me the courage to step out in faith, trusting that You will give me the right words at the right time.
Father, I ask for divine opportunities to share the gospel. Let doors open for conversations that lead to salvation. Let my life be a testimony that draws people to You. May my words and actions reflect Your light so powerfully that people will be drawn to ask about the hope that I have in You. Strengthen me to never be silent when I should speak, and let me walk in the confidence of one who has been sent by the King of Kings.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
3) *Prayer for a Burden for Souls*
Merciful Father,
I come before You with a sincere heart, asking You to give me a genuine burden for souls. Lord, let me not be lukewarm about the salvation of others. Open my eyes to see the reality of eternity, that I may live each day with a sense of urgency for those who are lost. Let my heart break for what breaks Yours.
Lord, remove every distraction that keeps me from prioritizing Your kingdom. Forgive me for the times I have been more focused on my own comfort than on the salvation of those around me. Give me a heart that longs to see my family, friends, and even strangers come to the knowledge of the truth. Stir up a deep desire within me to pray fervently for those who are yet to know You. Let me not be discouraged when I do not see immediate results, but help me to remain faithful in intercession.
Father, I ask for divine appointments and opportunities to share Your Word. Help me to be intentional about sowing seeds of righteousness through my conversations, actions, and prayers. Let me not be silent when I have the chance to speak about Your love. Fill me with unwavering passion, that I may never grow weary in laboring for souls.
Lord, make me a lighthouse in a dark world. Let my life shine so brightly that people are drawn to Your presence in me. Use me as a vessel to bring many into Your kingdom. I surrender myself fully to Your Will, and I declare that I am available to be used for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
*In Closing:*
Father,
I thank You for hearing my prayers. Let Your love fill my heart, Your boldness empower me, and Your burden for souls guide my steps. Help me to live out these prayers daily, that my life may bring many into Your kingdom. I surrender to Your Will.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I cover all my prayers and my declarations and my decrees and my commands and my supplications and my petitions and my confessions and my thanksgiving by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for absolute performance.
TODAY’S PROPHECY
Thus Saith the Lord,
*1) “I want you to walk in the fullness of MY wisdom and peace. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is this: Love all, trust a few, and do wrong to none.*
*Love is MY nature, and I have called you to reflect MY love to the world. Love all—not because everyone deserves it, but because I have loved you first. When you love, you free your heart from bitterness and make room for MY grace to flow through you.*
*But while love should be limitless, trust must be guarded. Not everyone is worthy of your deepest confidences. Be discerning. Let MY Spirit guide you in choosing whom to trust, so that you walk in wisdom and avoid unnecessary pain.*
*Above all, do wrong to no one. Walk in integrity, even when others do not. Do not repay evil for evil, but trust ME to be your defender. When you choose righteousness, you align yourself with MY Will, and I will bless you beyond what you can imagine.*
*Live by these words, and you will walk in peace, favour, and purpose. I AM with you always, leading and strengthening you.”*
