I have learned over the years that prayer always precedes evangelism. Prayer helps us to be prepared and in a right place with God. It also lets us to know who we should share our faith with and when is the right time.
At times I have tried to boldly share my faith with someone at the wrong time and they were just not open to listening. Where at other times when I am more in tune with the Holy Spirit after praying, it just flows and the person has been open.
Below is a prayer I pray regularly. It helps me to be in a right place with God and more open to the Holy Spirits promptings.
Prayer
Dear God,
I pray that You will use me to reach others for Christ. Please help me to be effective in sharing my faith. Please help me to know whom to talk to and I pray that You will give me the right words to say when the time comes. I pray for all my family, friends and neighbours. I pray that the Holy Spirit will draw them to Jesus and make them aware of their need for salvation. Please use me to lead them to Christ. I also pray Lord that when people come to You that You will help me to teach them about You and how to follow You each day. I pray that I will help make disciples.
I ask this in Jesus’, Amen.
