A Prayer for My Missionary Friends

I pray for you, friends, whether you are travelling halfway around the world or stepping out your back door. I pray that as you go wherever you go, you will be God’s hands to mold new disciples and His love in you will inspire and cultivate a deep love for Jesus in those around you.

I pray God’s anointing for you as you travel into spiritually dark places. I pray that you speak the very words of God.

I pray you will speak light into the darkness, hope into the lost causes, sight to the blind, dancing to the lame, healing to the sick, wholeness to the broken, liberty to the captives, and joy to the broken-hearted.

I pray that as you advance upon the gates of hell, one little word from your mouth will cause those gates to crumble. As you whisper the name Jesus, those gates will disintegrate into dust. I pray that those held in bondage will walk in the freedom of  sons and daughters of the God and King of the Universe.

I pray that, just as Jesus promised, you would do greater things than He did because you go in the power of His resurrection. I pray that every cell of your body is filled with His presence and His power and His love.

I pray you would not think even your life’s blood too high a price to pay for the Jesus who spilled all His blood for you. I pray that your answer to whatever Jesus asks of you would be an eternal “YES!” and the cry of the depths of your heart be “Here I am! Send me!”

I pray that the love of Jesus would be so compelling and overwhelming to you that you can’t help but go, and when you go, you can’t help but speak it. I pray that because of your obedience that a generation yet unborn will rise up and proclaim the mighty works of God to the next generations.

Amen!
